OK, but i dont want to create my own packages. When i download an application and want to compile it some dependencies are needed. For example, in Debian I type: apt-get build-dep application Many thanks, Christian
Christian.
What I do is the following
1. Open the readme file :)
2. Open yast/software manager and download the dependencies. If they are not there (rare) then I build them from source
3. $./configure
4. $make
5. #checkinstall. That creates an rpm to be use only in you system or in a very similar system. 6. install the rpm
Note: the rpm vs make install imho has the advantage that is easier to remove.
-=terry=- Many thanks for that info. Two questoins here: Why $make and not just make? Isn't it possible to download the dependencies from the command line if I want to? I can use yast no problems but was just curious. Many thanks, Christian
Don't give up too quickly on the build service. You can create personal projects as well as public projects. See the tutorial: http://en.opensuse.org/Build_Service/Tutorial If you get proficient with it, you should be able to use the one set of tools for various distros you happen to be working with. ie. You tell the service to make you a OS 11.1 64-bit version, or a OS 10.3 32-bit version, etc. Or a you can build for Fedora, Debian, Ubuntu, etc. I believe the build service was used to build the whole OS 11.1 release so it has become extremely functional.
