<Kristof.Depraetere@rug.ac.be>
1 Requirements.
First make sure you have at least IXEmul v45.0 installed.
These packages are needed to be able to compile rpm:
* gettext
* gdbm
* zlib
These extra packages are needed to run rpm:
* cpio
2 Installation.
These are the things you'll have to do to install this package.
* cd <your-build-directory>
* tar -xzvf rpm-2.2.9-src.tar.gz
* cd rpm-2.2.9
* configure --prefix=/ade
* make
* make install
Now it's time to edit the file "ade:lib/rpmrc" to correspond to your
system setup. Change the following entry:
* topdir: /place/to/store/RPM/packages
Make sure <tmppath> points to a _harddisk_ directory (the ram disk doesn't
allow the use of softlinks):
* tmppath: /place/on/your/hard/disk
Add the following entry:
* builddir: /place/where/RPM/will/build/packages
It is recommended to let <topdir> and <builddir> point to two different
partitions.
Now create the following directories in <topdir>:
* RPMS
* RPMS/m68k
* SOURCES
* SRPMS
* SPECS
Create the "rpm" directory in "ade:lib".
makedir ade:lib/rpm
Now it's time to initialise the rpm database with:
rpm --initdb
