This is half of the work to align the cmake and autotools generated dist tarballs. What's missing in the cmake dist tarball on my system are all the files generated or installed by running autogen.sh. I can't test this because cmake can't run my version of automake (1.15), or at least our CMake configuration prevents this from happening. |

This directory contains spec files for building an RPM REALLY WATCH OUT: The files in this directory are historical examples. They may be out of date and not maintained. Please contact your local distro supplier for updates. WATCH OUT: These spec file(s) might be heavily out of date and/or absolutely NOT SUITED to your distribution! They are particularly matched for the Fedora Core 4 distribution, but DO NOT USE THEM if you don't have exactly that distribution! Your own distribution probably has its own source RPM of gnucash, and this source RPM includes a spec file that is much better suited to your distribution. I repeat: DO NOT USE THIS SPEC file unless you either have Fedora Core 4 or you really know how you can modify it to suit your distribution. For German-speaking users, there are German build instructions for RPMs on http://linuxwiki.de/GnuCash/RpmInstallieren . ------------------------------ Original file content: Short instructions: > I've never built an rpm; given a spec file, how do I do this? > I understand the theory, just not clear on what to type up. You'll need to be root in many distributions. (It is possible to avoid this requirement, but I haven't done the work to the RPM.) However, in some distributions (e.g. SuSE) these instructions will work even as a normal user. cd /usr/src/redhat/SOURCES tar -zxvf xacc-1.x.tar.gz cp xacc-1.x/rpm/xacc.spec ../SPECS cp xacc-1.x/rpm/xacc.wmconfig . cd /usr/src/redhat/SPECS rpm -ba xacc.spec wait a bit, and a new binary rpm will be in /usr/src/redhat/RPMS/<arch> and a new src.rpm will be in /usr/src/redhat/SRPMS. ================================ JPL version: 1) Obtain a GnuCash distribution (source code .tar.gz file), either by downloading from an ftp site somewhere, or building from CVS using "make dist". The file should have the nomenclature gnucash-X.Y.Z.tar.gz where X.Y.Z are the release numbers. 2) Copy and uncompress/tar the distribution in your /usr/src/redhat/SOURCES directory. You will need to do this as the root user. Note, use your distribution-specific path here, only redhat uses "/usr/src/redhat". cd /usr/src/redhat/SOURCES cp /SOMEPATH/gnucash-X.Y.Z.tar.gz tar xvzf gnucash-X.Y.Z.tar.gz 3) Copy the rpm spec file to /usr/src/redhat/SPEC. cp gnucash-X.Y.Z/rpm/gnucash.spec /usr/src/redhat/SPECS/. 4) Edit the spec file, you probably will only need to modify the following 3 lines, depending on what features you want to include in the rpm: %define _with_postgres 0 (use postgres backend?) %define _with_ofx 0 (use openofx package?) %define _with_hbci 0 (use hbci package?) 5) Build the binary and source RPMs cd /usr/src/redhat/SPECS rpmbuild -ba gnucash.spec (note: older versions of rpm use "rpm -ba FILE.spec" to build) 6) Wait a bit, and a new binary rpm will be in /usr/src/redhat/RPMS/<arch> and a new src.rpm will be in /usr/src/redhat/SRPMS.
