Therefore, rather than spend a lot +of time trying to fix an obsolete build process, i've got a procedure to work around +the problem so that working Trinity packages can be built. + +The build problem is caused compilation failures at a number of points in the build +process, with the linker being unable to find various QT classes. This is being +caused by an option in the compilation command "-Wl,--as-needed", this option only +gets added to the compilation options when the build process is initiated by +rpmbuild, if I use the ./configure command with the same options and build the +sources manually, then this option is never added and the packages compile normally. +Therefore, it is being added by something in the rpmbuild process. So, the current +build procedure is: + +1) execute + rpmbuild -ba <spec file> + as normal. +2) If the build process crashes with the qt linking errors, switch to the build + directory to perform a manual build. +3) ensure /opt/kde3/bin is in the PATH environment variable. +4) re-run ./configure, using the options stored in the config.log file. +5) start make again. You might need to do a "make clean" if the build still fails + with the same error. +6) return to the SPEC's directory and execute + rpmbuild -bi --short-circuit=i <spec file> + followed by + rpmbuild -ba --short-circuit=i <spec file> +7) You should now have the RPM packages. |
