- <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
