This directory contains spec files for building an RPM
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. (It is possible to avoid this requirement,
but I haven't done the work to the RPM.)
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.
