Red Hat Bugzilla – Bug 5936
problems recompiling SRPM's
Last modified: 2008-05-01 11:37:52 EDT
Ok, I needed to recompile all the RPM's for Red Hat Linux 6.1 so I could stackguard them. So I wrote a script that did it, took a while, and when done not bad. About 80 rpm's failed to compile. For example grep compiles and create working binaries, but the package fails to build (that is /var/tmp/anonftp/ is populated, but no rpm gets assembled). anonftp is set to use libraries that are incorrect numbers/etc. I was doing my compiling on a Red Hat 6.1 install with _all_ the packages installed. Anyways, this is really aggravating that I cannot recompile Red Hat 6.1 RPM's on a clean Red Hat 6.1 system. What do you guys compile stuff on? I can mostly work around this, but it is a pain. ------- Additional Comments From 10/14/99 07:18 ------- I can second this: Tried to rebuild gdm. The gdm.spec pointed to files that were not in the package. Even after removing the dead reference, packages were not build correctly. Haven't tried other packeges yet... Used a complete install of Cartman!
Try unsetting LINGUAS before you rebuild. Most likely, autoconf is testing the value of LINGUAS, and then it decides that you don't want to build any translations.Try unsetting LINGUAS before you rebuild.
