Programming :: Spec Files To Create RPM Packages For The Target System?
Jun 10, 2010
I'm trying to debug a program that I crosscompiled on a arm9. The crosscompiler uses . spec files to create RPM packages for the target system. The program compiles and runs correctly except when i run the program with gdb and then type list I get this message: Code: 1 main.c: No such file or directory. in main.c I made sure I compiled the program with CFLAGS=-g by putting this in the .spec file. when the application crosscompiles (I believe) it shows it compiled succesfully with the -g flags: Code: checking whether gcc accepts -g... (cached) yes
I'd like to create a tar file on my machine to distribute software to other machines which are all alike (including, usernames, groupnames, etc). I need to create certain files and directories with specific owners on the target machine. In order to do that, I use
Code: tar --create --owner=someone --group=somegroup --file package.tar files. However, for this to work, someone must be in my /etc/passwd and somegroup must be in my /etc/group. Is there a way to fake this so I don't have to create a bunch of users only for that purpose?
I wish to use my laptop to create a system for my Soekris 4801. I don't want to take the server down for the lengthy install ( took 6 hours last time, Fedora 5 ). I want to create the image on a USB drive for the 586 Soekris server on my 686 HP laptop. Then scp the image to the Soekris and reboot and configure the server.
I build simple spec file and build rpmI transfer the new rpm to other Linux machine in order to install the new rpmaccording to the spec file the new rpm -> test.sh-6.2-2.i386.rpm should create the /tmp/MY_RPM_TESTS directory , but this rpm not create the MY_RPM_TESTS and sub directoriesplease advice why , what I need to fix in the spec file? RPM installation:
[root@linux1 rpm -Uvh /root/rpmbuild/RPMS/i386/test.sh-6.2-2.i386.rpm Preparing... ########################################### [100%] This is preinstall script
I'm trying to install radare and under the binary section for fedora it has a .spec file. It this a sort of script for the rpm command? I found a lot of info on how to make spec files but nothing on what they are or how to use them. So I have a radare.spec file, how can I use it to install the program?
I am interested in package building rpms, just stumped on how packagers such as remi and atomic rocket get their spec files. Are these written from other packagers or do you need to write each spec file yourself to be considered as a "packager".
I have written a spec file for packaging my application in an rpm, but it reports a conflict when I am trying to update my service script in /etc/init.d/. This is a file that I do need to update/replace so how might I force the rpm to do that?

What is the minimum computer spec for playing 1080p flash files via a web browser smoothly at least 25fps? We all know that flash is not very good on Linux. On my old computer, I can play 720p flash files in the browser at arount 25fps on Windows, but on Ubuntu on the same computer via dual OS installation, it struggles to play 420p flash files in the browser. So basically, I want to build a new computer and have Ubuntu as the only OS, but this computer needs to be able to play 1080p flash files via the browser (not by downloading and converting them), but straight from the browser smoothly. Is this possible and what would the minimum computer spec need to be to achieve this?
Trying to make sense of this Linux stuff, by trying to install Fedora 14. First impressions are it?s a parallel universe populated by those who hark back to the era of Windows 3.1 / DOS, and earlier, where command line instructions and messing around with .ini files was all the rage. Which might all be a great little hobby to go back to, being more 'at one, and intimate' with my machine and learning a new skill to take some pride in, but all it means so far is my patience is being really tested by needing to learn it all from scratch!
The installation guides seem to suggest that if your graphics card is not good enough then the installation will default to the text based one. Which is what happened in my case. I can get to the login prompt after the installation, but that's the point where it gets really frustrating in having my machine think it?s a mid 1980s Commodore 64 or something!! Never mind PEEK and POKE, I just want to THUMP or KICK it.
I read somewhere I should start X Start to start the GUI. Nope, x start or xstart doesn't do anything. I then read that only works if I had installed X Windows. Can't find where or how I install X Windows though! I then read, as I say, things default to purely text if your graphics card is not good enough, but then I can't find anything about what the minimum spec is. Seems odd that a card that can cope with Windows can't work with a system as basic as linux/fedora with its frustrating command line-intensive way of working.
- what the minimum graphics card spec is to enable GUI? - how to install this X Windows thing?
1. Every Sunday2. Find all files older than 1 day3. Gzip these file4. Tar up the gzipped files into one tar file.5. Name the tarball with a date stamp indicating what day it was created, so we know that week's files are in the file
this is my output when I try to compile samba 4.0.0 alpha 7 in Ubuntu using the spec file provided in the samba packages:

am writing a small search program for my class. I have decided to use indexing for my program. Ive researched online about indexing and how search engines do it. If im gonno do that I need to create inverted files to associate files to numbers ( numbers being the index of my paths ) . Now I was wondering what would be the best way to create an inverted file ? I was going to create sql tables using mysql api in C but then again there is no array data type or vectors to store few numbers in a single column in mysql and it is not advised to use Enum or SET
I don't seem to be able to create a new folder in my system files. I know I have to do this in the terminal as root, but I always get the answer that it cannot create the directory because there is no such file or directory. Yet the directory where I want to make the new folder definitely exists (I even just go there and try to create the folder)Here is the exact code:Code:lukas@lukas-VGN-FZ21E:/proc/asound/card0/pcm0p$ sudo mkdir ossmkdir: cannot create directory `oss': No such file or directory
I'm trying to create backup/archive my Ubuntu 10.04 system files (so I can restore it in case my system get corrupted). More specifically, I'm trying to zip the important files in my root directory not including my home directory (which includes my documents which I backup separately/more frequently) to an external hard drive attached via USB (called 'My Book').
Since File Roller didn't give me quite the level of control I was looking for, I created a script that I could execute to backup and archive regularly. Here's a snippet: cd /media/"My Book"/"Linux Backups" NOW=$(date +"%b-%d-%y") LOGFILE=Backup_Root_FileSystem-$NOW.log sudo zip -r -T -v Backup_Root_FileSystem-$NOW / -x /media/'My Book'* /media* /proc* /sys* /mnt* /dev* /cdrom* /home* /'lost+found'* | tee -a $LOGFILE
I have a shell script that need to create some files:
1) backup files of user passed in file ( that will be written by this shell ).
2) temp files that the shell will create and later delete/remove.
This shell script will be used from my local dir ( I am not a super or a sysadmin ). Users of this shell will call this script to run on their local files in their respective directories. When my script runs, it errors with the following:
for the temp I was able to avoid this error by creating the temp file in the /tmp directory. All I want is for this shell script to run, create/modify/backup files in user's local dirs.
I've a program which manages my pdf and references. I wish to put some of the information on my website but that program (Mendeley) does export only in XML (or bibtex). I'd like to simply convert the XML output files to SQL in order to create or update an SQL database.I'm not an expert in either XML or SQL (use only PHPMyadmin). Does someone get help me to figure out?
I have an NTFS file system nfs-automounted on our RedHat servers. Users can read and write to the file system no problem, and can create new files, edit them, and delete them to their heart's content. The only issue is that utilities such as "dos2unix" cannot create temporary working files:
$ dos2unix events.0818.dat dos2unix: converting file events.0818.dat to UNIX format ... Failed to open output temp file: Operation not permitted dos2unix: problems converting file events.0818.dat
This isn't limited to "dos2unix"; any other utility that creates a temporary working file gets the same problem. If I copy the file to a local file system like /tmp, it works fine. Here's the kicker: this works fine on Solaris systems. I can take the "dos2unix" utility over to a Solaris system that has that exact same NTFS file system automounted via NFS, and it works. No issues creating temporary working files at all.
I read the manual for systemD and systemctl, and I could not see a way to display the dependencies of local-fs.target. My system hangs at boot, somewhere before the local-fs.target completes. Not only do I know know what is failing, I don't know what it is trying to do.I can boot to the emergency target. But that does not trigger the problem. I have the logging options on, but it FREEZES when I try the local-fs.target, so I never get to open the logs. I'd like to know what it is trying to do, so I can step through manually.
I boot to emergency. Manually start each local-fs.target.wants/* then local-fs.target It waits a long tome for something, then it "works" but does not mount my lvm filesystems. I try again for default.target, and this time local-fs.target fails with a dependency, and the system hangs again. syslog is not available at the time of the hang. What ever is the first fail, is lost when the console scrolls.I's looking a lot like I must do a full reinstall of this system.
I have synology nas box DS710+ that has intel atom processor inside. i've installed ubuntu under virtual box, downloaded needed toolchain for x86 processors, and decided to cross-compile openvpn.
I 've started from compiling lzo library, but first question that appeared in my head - how i have to move all compiled binaries to my synology?
1. configure - okay 2. make - okay 3. make install - this is not necessary?
Will --prefix parameter helps me? or do i have to use chroot? cause there is a plenty amount of files that i need to move to my synology.
I'm using the command below to sync two directories. Problem is insted of deleting the files on the target directory it simply appends a ~ character at the end of the file name. Not sure why this is happening?I'd like to have all deletes on the source replicated on target.
I would like to create a bash menu script for my home server For instance if i were to type ./script It would then bring up 3 options
a. Create a backup b. Restore files from a backup c. Quit
If you were to select a or b it should then ask you were you want to backup or restore from. And if i were to type in an incorrect letter i should get an error and take me back to menu. I have attepmted this a view time now and have magaged to get the menu up using parameters
I have a webpage in html that uses <frameset> tag. One of the frames is a Table of Contents (toc.htm) that lists a series of images. The other frame is called 'canvas.htm'. My framset is laid out as follows:
The frameset is created properly and I can load the images manually (i.e. I can access the images from my browser and/or image editing tool). The problem comes when I attempt to access the images from the toc.htm frame. Instead of opening the image in the canvas.htm frame, a new window is displayed in my browser, instead of the image being displayed in the target window (canvas.htm). This happens on all of my browsers (firefox, safari, IE7/8 and Opera) on Windows, debian-linux and OS X 10.5/10.6.
If I change my src attribute (in the canvas frame) to toc.htm, I see the Table of Contents (toc.htm) displayed side-by-side until I click on the first drawing in the list. At this point, the frame 'behaves' half-arsed the way I want it to. I have searched on google till I am blue(er) in the face with no luck.
The LDFLAGS specifies the library path, which is specified as -L$(PROJECTPATH)/myproject/libs/liburl/ When I check this directory on my machine I see that the file: liburi.so.1 is indeed there.
i have got some error while trying to use /usr/lib/libpthread.so.0 file for my c program where as am using cross compiler and my target compiler is arm-none-linux-gnueabi-gcc while trying to use that file, i got the error file not correct format and i know the library file will support only if we use intel processor. so how to convert that file which should support the arm processor i.e. arm-none-linux-gnueabi-gcc.. i heard strip may resolve this problem but the problem , lot of options are there in strip, in which options we ve to use?? if you ve any other solutions please help me as soon as possible.
