qm Source Build Instructions
This document has instructions on how to build the source for qm. (written based on a build on a Mandriva system, some variations expected on different distros)
Assumptions
- bzr is installed, 0.13 or better
- build tools are installed (make, gcc)
- LSB-build tools are installed (lsb-build-base lsb-build-cc)
- lsb dynamic linker is in place (/%_lib/ld-lsb-%_arch.so.3)
- rpm-build is installed
- my 'pwd' is ~/LSB-work/doc-test
- all build work is done as a "normal" user, not root
- Distribution pre-requisites for running LSB tests are installed (package lsb-test on Mandriva)
Building Steps
Checkout a branch from Bazaar-NG
An initial branch will take some minutes to complete:
bzr branch http://bzr.freestandards.org/lsb/3.1/qmtest-harness qmtest-harness
or if you have an existing branch:
cd qmtest-harness bzr pull
Build the tarball
The Makefile accepts the environment variable BZRTREES to pull from your local branch to build the tarball, rather than the remote branch.
cd qmtest-harness/package BZRTREES=/home/stew/LSB-work/doc-test make tarball
You should find something like this at the end of the build:
qm-2.2.tar.gz
Build the rpm packages
make rpm_package
You should find something like this at the end of the build:
qm-2.2-3.src.rpm qm-2.2-3.x86_64.rpm
The tarball and package steps could of course be combined with a plain "make". I only broke them up for ease of troubleshooting.
BZTREES=/home/stew/LSB-work/doc-test make
