Build a RPM

Known bugs.

• Do not use cpack. Cpack do not computes proper dependencies and wrongly register system directories as owned by the RPM. Instead, use the standard way, by writing a spec file. The documentation for writing such files is here
• Due to a bug in cmake scripts, MPI is not detected properly. The actual RPM disable MPI support as a workaround.

Build a RPM for your platform

• First set your system by following the section : Preparing your system.
• Login as the makerpm user, download the spec file, and store it in /home/makerpm/
• Compute the RPM by running rpmbuild -ba SPECS/vle.spec
• If rpmbuild complains of missing dependancies, install them with yum install missing_stuff

*Summary :

run as root

yum -y install @development-tools fedora-packager

useradd makerpm usermod -a -G mock makerpm passwd makerpm

#run as makerpm cd ~ rpmdev-setuptree cd rpmbuild/SPECS wget THESPECFILE cd .. makerpm -ba SPECS/vle.spec
