Problems installing on Fedora (Transaction Error)

[Aidanc]

Hi Guys,

When I attempt to use the rpm package I get the following

openra-20101107.2-1.noarch requires freetype2
openra-20101107.2-1.noarch requires cg
openra-20101107.2-1.noarch requires Mesa

Problem is I don't actually know what these packages are... what should I be looking for?

It's an unfortunate fact that RPM based systems all have different names for their packages, I can't fix this without installing a copy of Fedora myself and distributing a separate RPM for it.

I have no problem building and maintaining a Fedora package for you guys, I've attempted to do so and gotten the following...



[root@Cookiemonster rpm]# sudo rpmbuild -bb --clean openra.spec
Executing(%build): /bin/sh -e /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.oHla4i
+ umask 022
+ cd /root/rpmbuild/BUILD

+ exit 0
Executing(%install): /bin/sh -e /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.KKuBFp

cp: cannot stat `ROOT_DIR': No such file or directory
error: Bad exit status from /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.KKuBFp (%install)


RPM build errors:
Bad exit status from /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.KKuBFp (%install)


Any idea how I'd fix that?

EDIT

I've fixed the above by putting a $ infront of ROOT_DIR but now I'm getting the followng...

it appears 'root' is turning to nothing and so there's no source dir for it to copy from... Any idea how I'd fix that?

Another edit!

Right, so I've determined root seems to be something I have to define in the building.. what is that meant to be?

[Aidanc]

Okay! nevermind all of the above.. I see the sh script does it.. but what are the arguments meant to be? I've fixed all of the dependency issues and now it's just a matter of building the rpm!

[Sleipnir]

The package scripts are designed to be run from the main source dir by `./packaging/package-all.sh <version tag> <output dir for the built packages`. Normally, this would be called automatically from the checkout-and-build script, where the version would be a git tag, but calling it manually with any string for the version works.

This will attempt to build all the packages, so you may want to edit packaging/package-all.sh and packaging/linux/buildpackage.sh to disable the other platforms.

If you can let us know the proper deps for fedora, we'll build it into the scripts for the next release.

[Aidanc]

The only package that requires renaming is mesa -> mesa-dri-drivers-experimental . cg is just the cg_toolkit (Nvidia thingy!) and then freetype2 is installed by on every machine which has X installed so it's not really required as a dependancy but in fedora its just freetype not freetype2

[beedee]

cg will probably be removed as a dependency anyway as the new default renderer doesn't use it.
