failed dependencies while installing

[calanor]

Hi, this is my first attempt at making an RPM. In the software's install script it installs libs in /usr/lib when on fedora x86_64 it should be /usr/lib64 or it doesn't work. Is there a way I can mv the lib to correct location while installing ?


Also installing the package fails with this error:

But I have php-cli installed. The binary is called php and not php5 how do I tell it to use that ?

Try this spec file as yours had some major errors, you never prefix using the buildroot in the path.
The error was caused because rpm will automatically find the requires for any executeable,

And I thought I will learn packaging easily :P

Thanks for your time leigh, I have some questions (I hope you don't mind)

1)what does this do?
#fix php5 requirement error
sed -i -e 's,/usr/bin/php5,/usr/bin/php,g' %{buildroot}%{_datadir}/eiskaltdcpp/qt/qtscripts/gnome/commands.ru_RU.UTF-8.php \
%{buildroot}%{_datadir}/eiskaltdcpp/examples/xmms2_audacious2.ru_RU.UTF-8.php \
%{buildroot}%{_datadir}/eiskaltdcpp/examples/commands.ru_RU.UTF-8.php

2)when the software itself contains the install script why do we need this ?
%install
pushd build
make DESTDIR=%{buildroot} install
popd

3) why use %cmake and not a simple cmake?

4)As I understand, the files are placed in exactly the same directories as the fake install. So if the install script is designed to put libs in /usr/lib, why putting %{_libdir} doesn't result in a file not found error as it tries to find lib64 in fake install ?

[leigh123linux]

1. sed removes /usr/bin/php5 and replaces it with /usr/bin/php in the three file I listed
2. your building a rpm why rely on some dodgy install script.
3. using %cmake will use the fedora cmake macro.
4. as I said the install script isn't good for rpm's , not everyone runs 32bit and the software compiles on 64bit

on a 32bit sytem %{_libdir} =/usr/lib
on a 64 bit system %{_libdir} =/usr/lib64

[calanor]

on a 64 bit system %{_libdir} corresponds to /usr/lib64
while in the install phase(in the buildroot) the software puts libs in /usr/lib irrespective of the underlying architecture. So when on a 64 bit system I just specify %{_libdir}=/usr/lib64, why doesn't it complain about missing file/directory.
Maybe I am getting it all wrong.

Also how did you find where to replace php5 with php ?

One more thing
make DESTDIR=%{buildroot} install
this still uses the software's instal,l right ?

Does it?, it didn't here.

I just checked the built rpm for php files

how ????

And we are still using the software's install script ? (I guess yeah). Then how does it save us from a dodgy script ?
