Hi! Until the release 1.8.9.1, I was able to build Doxygen (binaires ands RPMs) with this command: $ rpmbuild -ta doxygen-<VERSION>.src.tar.gz With the last release, this command fails: "error: Failed to read spec file from doxygen-1.8.10.src.tar.gz" I think it's related to the CMake build. So now, what is the best way to achieve build of RPMs? Thanks a lot!

Hi Robert, Thanks for your answer. Sorry, but I'm not sure to understand. You mean that the SPEC file in doxygen-1.8.10.src.tar.gz\doxygen-1.8.10.src.tar\doxygen-1.8.10\packages\rpm\doxygen.spec.in is useless? So, what is the new procedure to build RPM?

Its in the wrong place for rpmbuild -ta. I am not sure what CMake's idea of subverting rpmbuild is. For rpmbuild -ta ...tar.gz to work, the SPEC file needs to be at the toplevel of the tarball. I believe CMake has some other ideas, including *NOT* using rpmbuild, but using its own 'logic' that *replaces* rpmbuild instead. I think you have to unpack the archive, build the package 'normally', *then* run some *special* CMake command to build the RPM from the build binaries (I don't really know the exact incantation). You *don't* get a package-version.src.rpm this way. I think esentually you end up building a binary-only (batch) of RPM(s). Which is stupid and unhelpful for anyone 'downstream' of whoever is distributing the RPMs -- eg it means that anyone who needs to rebuild the RPM(s), have to get the original source and built it from scratch. It also means it is not possible to build RPMs with distro-specific patches. And thus, it is probably less than useful for these and other related reasons. > > So, what is the new procedure to build RPM? > > Thanks, > > Jean > > -----Original Message----- > From: Robert Heller [mailto:he...@de...] > Sent: lundi 29 juin 2015 14:22 > To: Jean Audibert > Cc: 'dox...@li...'; Robert Heller > Subject: Re: [Doxygen-users] Unable to build RPMs for Doxygen v1.8.10 > > At Mon, 29 Jun 2015 08:05:40 +0000 Jean Audibert <jau...@eu...> wrote: > > > > > Hi! > > > > Until the release 1.8.9.1, I was able to build Doxygen (binaires ands RPMs) with this command: > > $ rpmbuild -ta doxygen-<VERSION>.src.tar.gz > > > > With the last release, this command fails: "error: Failed to read spec file from doxygen-1.8.10.src.tar.gz" > > > > I think it's related to the CMake build.

So now, what is the best way to achieve build of RPMs? Unfortunately, the spec file has not been updated to the new build system yet :-( Since this was a third party contribution in the past, I'm open for suggestions on how to correct it.

Hi Dimitri, Thanks for your e-mails. In my team we build&package several tools (like Git and CMake) to keep dev boxes (from el5 to el7) up-to-date. So we had to work/rework spec files and builds. Let me see with my colleagues what we can provide/suggest. It would a pleasure to contribute. The current spec file and your link are very good starting points.

With the CPack RPM, all you get is a binary RPM and anyone downsteam *has* to know how to build the package using CMake's tools (which is non-obvious to someone not familure with CMake or CPack). It also breaks things for distro repackagers, who take source RPMs from one distro and rebuild them for another, including creating derived distros. For *most* packages one just gets the source RPMs and does a rpmbuild --rebuild on them -- this process can be automated easily. Using CPack breaks this, requiring manual hand hackery. When I created RPMs (and also debs) for xtrkcad, I created my own spec file and used rpmbuild to create source and binary RPMs and skipped using CPack. (BTW: CPack is a bit broken in that it fails to build proper source archives under some situations.) > > Regards, > Dimitri > ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ > Don't Limit Your Business.
