Knowing David I'd hazard the guess that he did them himself.

And how did you know that you needed these patches?

Compiler fails, you fix the code and add the patch to the package :) Philipp -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

Nope, they were in the 11.4 src.rpm I used. I just changed the .spec because of some rpmlint stuff a bit.

Thank you David. I could not find a glib source package for oS-11.4 (in http://download.opensuse.org/source/distribution/11.4/repo/oss/suse/src/) but found one for oS-11.2. Could you please provide me a link to the 11.4 source package? I also downloaded gtk1 source package for 11.2, uncompressed and applied the patches manually. gtk1 built well too. Then I was able to build xmms, which was my final (and original) goal. When I looked at the spec file of gtk1 source, mostly I could understand it, except for this line(s): %setup -q -n %{_name}-%{version} gnome-patch-translation-prepare cp -a %{S:1} . I understand that rpm creates the install dir, runs gnome-patch-translation-prepare program, and copies %{S:1} to . What is the meaning of %{S:1}, and to what directory the . refers to? I googled a lot but could not find anything. Thanks, Istvan -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

I understand that rpm creates the install dir, runs gnome-patch-translation-prepare program, and copies %{S:1} to .

What is the meaning of %{S:1}, and to what directory the . refers to?

%{S:1} is Source1, I usually use %{SOURCE1} instead of the short form.

And . is (as usual) the current dir, i.e. %{_topdir}/BUILD/%{_name}-%{version} that was in the tarball.

See the rpmbuild output.

==== %prep %setup -q %patch [..] ====

becomes:

+ rm -rf glib-1.2.10 + /usr/bin/bzip2 -dc /home/abuild/rpmbuild/SOURCES/glib-1.2.10.tar.bz2 + /bin/tar -xf - + STATUS=0 + '[' 0 -ne 0 ']' + cd glib-1.2.10 + /bin/chmod -Rf a+rX,u+w,g-w,o-w . + echo 'Patch (glib-1.2.10.dif):' Patch (glib-1.2.10.dif): [..]

BTW: %patch == %patch0

Thank you for the link and the explanation. The rpm documentation I read did have this info. Istvan -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
