Description R P Herrold 2003-02-17 02:31:55 UTC
... building RPM is obtuse with the base Red Hatwork workstation install -- 

a missing BuildRequires: elfutils-devel seems to presently exist.

Present un-stated Build-requirements include doxygen, and the elfutils-devel

raw hide: rpm-4.2-0.68.src.rpm

two approaches exist:  BuildRequire them, or 

ifdef around the relevant sub-packages ... if not present.

It seems that the hope would be that, for non-i386 arches, rpm can build enough
of itself to bet rpm-build, so one can bootstrap a rebuild of the toolchain
needed to build:

gcc, binutils,  glibc, rpm itself, and hopefully to kernel

[herrold@dhcp249 SPECS]$ grep -i ^Build rpm.spec
BuildRequires: elfutils-libelf
BuildRequires: zlib-devel
BuildRequires: bzip2 >= 0.9.0c-2
BuildRequires: python-devel >= %{with_python_version}
[herrold@dhcp249 SPECS]$

I am thinking here also of the trans-port-int for Sparc -- elfutils-devel is
probably simply not applicable off ix86 ... this leans to the ifdef extension
approach.

Dunno -- the RPM .spec file is already a work of art -- ...

Comment 3 R P Herrold 2003-02-18 17:13:04 UTC
This bug may be a dupe of: 81190 -- but with the off x86 aspect, is probably not 

... As the 'not a BuildRequire' route is stated, it would seem that either
ifdef'ing around arch dependent stuff in the .spec file, or perhaps in the build
setup ./configure has to happen?


Comment 4 Jeff Johnson 2003-02-20 16:20:15 UTC
The right fix is to get debugedit functionality included
in elfutils.

Deferred until then, probably not soon.
