  1. Problems building 7.2.1 RPMs

    Paulo Jan <admin@digital.ddnet.es> — 2002-04-09T13:40:23Z

    Hi all:

	I'm having problems building binary RPMs for PostgresSQL 7.2.1 from
source. First of all, the circunstances:

	-I am using Red Hat Linux 6.2.
	-I have updated the required system libraries, utilities, etc. needed
to compile 7.2.1 (patch and readline).
	-I am using the SRPM that I found in Red Hat Rawhide
(ftp://rpmfind.net/linux/rawhide/1.0/SRPMS/SRPMS/postgresql-7.2.1-3.src.rpm).
	-I edited the postgresql.spec file to take out the references to
gettext and set nls=0, since I couldn't find an up-to-date binary RPM of
gettext for Red Hat 6.2 (some posts in this mailing list mentioned that
they couldn't get gettext to compile under 6.2 anyway, and suggested
this approach).
	-To compile everything, I used the following command: " rpm -ba
--target=i586 --define 'tcl 0' --define 'tkpkg 0' --define 'python 0'
--define 'pltcl 0' --define 'kerberos 0' --define 'pgaccess 0' --define
'newintarray 1' /usr/src/redhat/SPECS/postgresql.spec".

	And now, the problem: after compiling everything, when trying to
generate the RPMS it says: "File not found:
/var/tmp/postgresql-7.2.1-root/usr/lib/libpgtcl.a".

	I have TCL installed (but not Tk), and with the above configuration
(updated readline and patch, removed gettext, etc.) I was able to create
binary RPMs of Postgres 7.2 using the official SRPM.
	What can I do? Any ideas? If you need more information, don't hesitate
to ask.

Ok, realize that rawhide RPM's are built on, well, a decidedly non-6.2 box.  
7.2 or better, more likely.

Diff the older 7.2 spec against the rawhide spec and see what changed (quite a 
bit changed, BTW).  Installing tk might help, though -- but, if you haven't X 
installed, then, well, that's a whole 'nother issue.

Ok, do this for me (and e-mail the result directly to me, and not to the 
list):  rpm-command-from-above 2>&1 >build.log &
tail -f build.log

(so you can watch it).

Then e-mail me build.log.

Oh, and I'm working on more backwards-compatible 7.2.1 RPMs -- I've been on 
vacation (to recover from working during another vacation that I took to 
recover from the hardest 4 months I've had at work).  But it's time for me to 
get back into this saddle.  Sorry for the delay.

	Okay, this is what I did, and here is what I found:

	I tried again, building postgresql-tcl too... and it worked. Tadaaa!!
	(I don't know if it's necessary, but I can still send you the build log
if you want it).

Ah.  Postgresql-devel requires libpgtcl.a.  Aha.  Please send me the log.

Now I have to decide how to handle this cross-rpm dependency problem, while 
still allowing conditional builds....

For the group:
His build didn't build libpgtcl.a (the static link development library for the 
tcl client), and the rpm build barfed when it couldn't find that file to put 
in the _postgresql-devel_ subpackage.

And the changelog entry he referred to was me fixing it a couple of
weeks ago. Conditionals work in filelists too

Does this mean that you managed to build 7.2.1 for RedHat 6.2?

	Yep, though I didn't build all the packages, only the ones that I
needed.
