Re: [SLE] Making RPMs for SuSE
Hi, You can make RPMs with check install package included with SuSE. just run "configure --your-options", "make", "checkinstall make install".
Right now, I'm making an RPM by taking a tarball and doing: rpm -tb tarballname.tar.gz
I have question - how you specify "configure --your-options" in this case? Additionally, there are several sites where you can downlad prebuilt RPMs for SuSE http://packman.links2linux.de/index.php4 http://www.funktronics.ca/pub http://www.usr-local-bin.org/ ********************************************* * Best Regards --- Andrei Verovski * * Personal Home Page * http://homepage.mac.com/MacGuruHQ/ * Mac, Linux, DTP, Development, IT WEB Site *********************************************

Hey, thanks for that tip.

You have to extract the spec file from the tarball: tar zxf tarballname.tar.gz tarballname/application.spec Then edit application.spec, and supply your config options. Then place the SPEC file in /usr/src/packages/SPECS, and the file tarballname.tar.gz in the /usr/src/packages/SOURCES directory. And finally run rpm -bb /usr/src/packages/SPECS/application.spec -- Anand Buddhdev http://anand.org

Sweet. I just installed the daily build of LICQ using checkinstall. So the RPMs that are built using checkinstall, they should work on any SuSE i386+ setup, assuming dependencies are met? Referring to 7.3 and 8.0 systems only of course, and just general programs like LICQ and such.
