[Quantlib-dev] Finalizing RPM Packages

[Liguo S. <Lig...@va...>]

Dear QuantLib users,

As the 0.3.3 is at the edge of finalizing, I am also finalizing the RPM 
packages. The pre-release RPM packages are avaible at 
http://nlog.phy.vanderbilt.edu/SoftwareProjects/QuantLib/

Here is the overall structure of the RPM packages:

QuantLib: The main package include the libraries. This should be the only 
package needed by the application using QuantLib, which will show up soon. The 
files included in this packages are
     /usr/lib/libQuantLib.la
     /usr/lib/libQuantLib.so.0
     /usr/lib/libQuantLib.so.0.0.0
  and miscellaneous documentation lives under
     ./Doc/images/, ./Doc/pages/ and ./Doc/Examples/

QuantLib-devel: The headers and the static libraries. This would be needed by 
the programmers who use QuantLib. The files included in this packages are
     /usr/include/ql/*
     /usr/lib/libQuantLib.a
     /usr/lib/libQuantLib.so
     /usr/bin/quantlib-config
     /usr/man/man1/quantlib-config.1
     /usr/share/aclocal/quantlib.m4
     /usr/share/emacs/site-lisp/quantlib.el
     /usr/share/emacs/site-lisp/quantlib.elc
     ./Examples/*

QuantLib-test-suite: The optional test-suite program to validate the 
installation of the QuantLib libraries.
     /usr/bin/quantlib-test-suite
     /usr/man/man1/quantlib-test-suite.1


QuantLib-*.src.rpm: This is the source package of the above binary packages. You 
can rebuild this package to generate the binary packages that suits your need. 
The commnad to recomile this package is
     rpmbuild -bb QuantLib-0.3.3-0.src.rpm

NOTE: The test-suite package will not be built if no cppunit, cppunit-devel and 
cppunit-static RPM packages are install on your machine. And, the rebuilding 
will fail if the version of these cppunit packages < 1.8.0. I also have prepared 
cppunit 1.8.0 RPM packages for RedHat Linux at the above URL.

Any comments, suggestions and criticism are welcome. :)

Later.
