|
|
<para> |
|
|
The most wide-spread RPM-based GNU/Linux |
|
|
Systems are RedHat, Mandrake and SuSE. |
|
|
The documentation of these distributions |
|
|
should contain information about how to |
|
|
install third-party RPM packages. |
|
|
Nonetheless, a short summary is provided here. |
|
|
</para> |
|
|
<para> |
|
|
RPM packages can be installed applying several |
|
|
tools. The most basic one is the command line |
|
|
program "rpm". The hardware architecture is |
|
|
identified in the name of RPM packages, eg. |
|
|
'i386' for most Intel/AMD architectures. |
|
|
If you have a different hardware architecture, |
|
|
where no binary RPM packages are provided, |
|
|
you must rebuild binary packages from the |
|
|
RPM source packages first (see below). |
|
|
Typical rpm commands look like: |
|
|
|
|
|
<programlisting> |
|
|
rpm --install Thuban-0.9.0-1.i386.rpm |
|
|
</programlisting> |
|
|
|
|
|
Depending on what you already have installed |
|
|
on your system, you are informed that some |
|
|
packages are required, but not installed. |
|
|
You need to install them first. Either they |
|
|
are provided by your GNU/Linux distributor |
|
|
or available somewhere on the Internet. |
|
|
The more essential and special ones are |
|
|
provided together with the Thuban package. |
|
|
</para> |
|
|
|
|
|
<para> |
|
|
For rpm exist some graphical user interfaces, notably |
|
|
kpackage, GnoRPM and xrpm. |
|
|
</para> |
|
|
|
|
|
<para> |
|
|
Make yourself familiar with one of the tools and apply it |
|
|
to install the packages. |
|
|
Note, that you need to be administrator (root) for the system |
|
|
to do that. |

<section><title>Build Binaries from Source Packages</title> |
|
|
<para> |
|
|
This section describes howto build RPM install-packages |
|
|
from RPM source-packages. |
|
|
This adapts and optimizes an install-package specifically |
|
|
to your system. |
|
|
This is especially helpful to resolve version conflicts of |
|
|
dependent packages. Furthermore, install-packages for other |
|
|
platforms (e.g. PowerPC) can be created. |
|
|
</para> |
|
|
|
|
|
<para> |
|
|
Note: rpm must be at least version 4. Execute |
|
|
<literal>rpm --version</literal> to find out about the version. |
|
|
</para> |
|
|
|
|
|
<para> |
|
|
You need to do the following preparations to be able to |
|
|
build the packages as a regular user. You should now |
|
|
perform the package buling as root since this |
|
|
might cause damage to your system. |

Create RPM directory structure: |
|
|
Choose a directory (e.g. $HOME/myrpm) and create the |
|
|
subdirectories BUILD, RPM, SOURCES, SPECS and SRPMS. |
|
|
A possible command sequence for this is: |
|
|
<programlisting> |
|
|
mkdir $HOME/freegisrpm |
|
|
cd $HOME/freegisrpm |
|
|
mkdir BUILD RPMS SOURCES SPECS SRPMS |

Create $HOME/.rpmmacros: |
|
|
This file sets general preferences and some |
|
|
specific settings for signing packages. |
|
|
If you don't have a GnuPG-key, you can skip |
|
|
the signature settings i.e. drop the last 4 lines. |
|
|
A signature becomes important when you want to |
|
|
give away packages to third parties. |

Now you can install any RPM source-package. |
|
|
It's components are installed into the corresponding |
|
|
subdirectories of your rpm-directory. |
|
|
Essentially these are the sources (into directory SOURCES) |
|
|
and the so-called spec-file which contains all build |
|
|
instructions. The spec-file will go into the SPEC directory. |
|
|
Example: |
|
|
<literal>rpm --install Thuban-0.9.0-1.src.rpm</literal> |
|
|
</para> |
|
|
|
|
|
<para> |
|
|
Create install-package: |
|
|
Go to the directory with the spec-files and rebuild the |
|
|
package: |
|
|
<programlisting> |
|
|
cd $HOME/mypm/SPECS |
|
|
rpm -bb thuban.spec |
|
|
</programlisting> |
|
|
Next, you will find the newly created package in |
|
|
$HOME/myrpm/RPMS/i386. |
|
|
If you build the package for another architecture than |
|
|
i386, then the name of the directory has a corresponding name. |
