So i want to > build the module with the Fedora Core 6 gcc. Recommendation to build as user. # yum install yum-utils rpmdevtools After you installed the SRC rpm, modify the SPEC file. All the compile options you are looking for, should be in the SPEC file. ~/rpmbuild/SPECS/gcc41.spec Off the top of my head, I would recommend *at least* the following: 1. rename the package 'Name' (from gcc to gcc-fc6 or something) 2. update/remove any 'BuildRequires' statements as packages may have changed from FC6 3. Add some compile options to the build so it can co exist with an existing GCC, something like: --prefix=/opt/gcc-fc6 --program-suffix=fc6 \ 4. Disable ada, fortran, java, etc. - any language you don't care about/don't need (highly recommended!) # rpmbuild -ba ~/rpmbuild/SPECS/gcc41.spec You might have to tweak some of those steps, not entirely sure. > Any ideas what should I do ? > Have you tried looking into 'mock' ? https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Projects/Mock -Mauriat -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list
