Re: [Maria-discuss] Help with RPM src build

21 Jul 2011

      Yes, I do believe a "RHEL" person is needed on this.  I don't
understand why the build process has been made so complicated.  It
appears that some things have been purposely removed or not configured
in the spec file.  Like this one:
rpm2cpio: /root/rpmbuild/SOURCES/%{compat50rpm}: No such file or directory

There is nothing concerning compat50rpm in the SOURCES, only the
mariadb tgz and an ourdelta rpm file which will not install because
it's looking for dependencies for RHEL 5.

Also, the upstream_source variable was not configured, there was 2
Source entries that pointed to this which broke because they where
basically the same.  Not sure if anyone else is having these types of
problems with the src rpm, but this is a little frustrating.

Hi, bwellsn
To solve this you'd better have somebody who uses RHEL to answer.
I only pointed out how to get a bit more information than "cannot create
executables" from config.log.

Actually, after more investigation, I have no clue why gcc4 is
referenced since Centos, Scientific Linux, and RHEL 5 does not have a
gcc4 executable.

Wow, I'm not thinking at all.  Found the problem. There needs be an
entry in the SPEC file like below:
if [ "%{elversion}" = "6" ] ; then
       export CFLAGS="-O2 -fno-omit-frame-pointer  -g -pipe -Wall
-Wp,-D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=2 -fstack-protector --param=ssp-buffer-size=4
$CPUOPT"
       export CXXFLAGS="-O2 -fno-omit-frame-pointer -g -pipe -Wall
-Wp,-D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=2 -fstack-protector --param=ssp-buffer-size=4
$CPUOPT"
else
       export CC="gcc" CXX="gcc"
       export CFLAGS="-O2 -fno-omit-frame-pointer  -g -pipe $CPUOPT"
       export CXXFLAGS="-O2 -fno-omit-frame-pointer -g -pipe $CPUOPT"
fi
The problem is that the entry before references gcc4 which in RHEL 5
and RHEL 6 there isn't a gcc4 executable.

In the source directory you can find config.log file.
And in it you will find the reason for this error.
