Whole document tree 6. Installing 8000 RPMsOnce RPM program is installed, it is a gateway to thousands of RPM packages which can be easily installed on the system. Prepare the rpm directories bash# su - root bash# mkdir -p /usr/local/src/redhat/BUILD bash# mkdir -p /usr/local/src/redhat/RPMS/sparc64 bash# mkdir -p /usr/local/src/redhat/RPMS/noarch bash# mkdir -p /usr/local/src/redhat/SOURCES bash# mkdir -p /usr/local/src/redhat/SPECS bash# mkdir -p /usr/local/src/redhat/SRPMS You may want to edit the rpmrc file. In case of solaris 8, I had to remove the -m64 option for gcc, since it was giving compile errors. To show the values, RPM will use for all of the options that may be set in rpmrc files (/usr/local/lib/rpm/rpmrc, /usr/lib/rpm/rpmrc, /etc/rpmrc, /.rpmrc ), type: bash$ rpm --showrc | less 6.1 Bootstrap Programs - The Rocket Soars Up!!Before building rpms you need the following basic programs:
bash# mkdir $HOME/localtmp bash# cd $HOME/localtmp bash# gzip -d libtool*.tar.gz bash# tar -xvf libtool*.tar bash# ./configure --with-prefix=$HOME/localtmp bash# make; make install You should include the temporary location of autoconf by: bash# PATH=$HOME/localtmp/bin:$PATH bash# export PATH 6.2 Install Foundation RPMsThere are few basic rpms which must be installed before any other rpm is installed. In this section, foundation rpms are listed which are found by using: bash# rpm -qR <packagename> bash# rpm -qR textinfo bash# rpm -qR fileutils bash# rpm -qR setup The foundation rpms in the order of dependency are as follows:
Second stage foundation rpms are as follows. After installing the foundation rpms, next important rpm is gcc, the order of rpms you need is:
Third stage rpms are as follows:
As from previous section you should have exported temp location of autoconf, gcc and other programs by: bash# PATH=$HOME/localtmp/bin:$PATH bash# export PATH bash# rpm -i fileutils*.src.rpm bash# rpm -i zlib*.src.rpm bash# rpm -i texinfo*.src.rpm bash# cd /usr/local/src/redhat/SPECS bash# rpm -ba fileutils.spec After the build is successful, install it with "nodeps and excludedocs" to minimize the failures. After substantial installations of many foundation rpms you can "freshen" the rpms with rpm command. bash# cd /usr/local/src/redhat/RPMS/sparc64 bash# rpm -i --nodeps --excludedocs fileutils*.rpm Move on to build and install the next rpm in the list texinfo, zlib, patch,.... 6.3 Troubleshoot Building Foundation RPMsOn Solaris 2.8, I encountered following problems which were fixed by correcting the spec file:
