Hi,
I don't manage to build a java rpm for fc4 from the rpm-skeleton of
Jpackage.org and source from Sun
(http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/download.jsp).
I can't figure out how to adjust the spec-file. Has somebody on this
list built this rpm succesfully? If so, how? What changes have to be
made in the specfile to make it work?
I wonder why the rpm isn't simply being created when I carry out the
instructions on jpackage.org (http://www.jpackage.org/rebuilding.php),
since the only reason the nosrc-rpm has been built is to make an rpm out
of it together with the source from Sun. Perhaps I am doing something
wrong here.
I know I can install the bin.file without creating an rpm, but for
obvious reasons I prefer the rpm.
Worked for me without making any changes to the spec file.
All I used were:
java-1.5.0-sun-1.5.0.03-1jpp.nosrc.rpm (from jpackage site)
jdk-1_5_0_03-linux-i586.bin (from Sun site)
Paul.
Finally I found out what went wrong. I must confess that I downloaded
the wrong file: jre-1_5_0_04-linux-i586.bin instead of
jdk-1_5_0_04-linux-i586.bin!
Building the rpm was easy now. Thanks for all your reactions.
Peter.
