How to write a spec file to build an rpm package? - centos

How can I write a spec file for building an rpm package, if I have only 4 tasks?
Place my_file in /usr/local/mydir
Place the configuration file in the rsyslog.d
Place the logrotate file in logrptate.d
Echo "something" /etc/programm/programm.conf
My attempt:
1. Name: my_file
2. Version: 1.0
3. Release: 1
4. Summary: A sample package
5. Group: Applications/Productivity
6. License: GPL
7. Source0: my_file-1.0.tar.gz
8. BuildArch: i386
9. BuildRoot: %{_tmppath}/%{name}-%{version}-%{release}.x86-64
10.
11. %description
12. This package basically does nothing, but it potentially could
13. do something useful.
14.
15.
16. %prep
17. %setup -q
18.
19. %build
20.
21.
22. %install
23. mkdir -p $RPM_BUILD_ROOT/usr/local/myfile
24.
25. install my_file $RPM_BUILD_ROOT/usr/local/myfile
26. install myfile-rsyslog.conf $RPM_BUILD_ROOT/etc/rsyslog.d
27.
28. install myfile-logrotate $RPM_BUILD_ROOT/etc/logrotate.d
29.
30. %files
31. %defattr(-,root,root)
32. /usr/local/myfile/my_file
33. /etc/rsyslog.d/myfile-rsyslog.conf
34. /etc/logrotate.d/myfile-logrotate
35.
36. %clean
37.
38. rm -rf $RPM_BUILD_ROOT
39.
40. %post
41. echo "something " >> /etc/programm/programm.conf
What did I understand wrong? Since I do not create a directory in %install, then when building rpm, the build tries to make an install to rsyslog.d and fails. What should be the correct sequence of actions? And then the task is simple - only 3 files, but solutions are offered everywhere difficult.

You are missing Requires and yes, you need to create those directories, if you want to install your files into them..
Somewhere between Line 9-11:
Requires: logrotate
Requires: rsyslog
Then in the install section:
%{__install} -Dm 0644 myfile-rsyslog.conf $RPM_BUILD_ROOT/etc/logrotate.d/myfile-rsyslog.conf
%{__install} -Dm 0644 myfile-logrotate $RPM_BUILD_ROOT/etc/rsyslog.d/myfile-logrotate
Here, %{__install} -Dm 0644 puts the file into the target directory and creates the target directory if it's missing. Your package shouldn't own the directory.

perl installation, cpan install true.pm fails

I am very much a perl newbie, I know very little about the system.
I am trying to install App/Lingua/BO/Wylie/Transliteration.pm which seems to be dependent on true.
I am getting an error on the install of true. This seems very surprising, so I am very open to something very fundamental and wrong with the perl installation. Running perl v5.30.2 on MacOS 11.3.1.
cpan error log:
force install true.pm

This looks like a bug in the system Perl installation that comes preinstalled on macOS. The module B::Hooks::OP::Check comes preinstalled in /System/Library/Perl/Extras/5.30/darwin-thread-multi-2level/B/Hooks/OP/ but the file /System/Library/Perl/Extras/5.30/darwin-thread-multi-2level/B/Hooks/OP/Check/Install/hook_op_check.h is missing for some reason. As a consequence, it is not possible to install the module true which depends on that file being there.
You can override the preinstalled version by running:
$ cpan -f B::Hooks::OP::Check
This will install the module into /Library/Perl/5.30/darwin-thread-multi-2level/B/Hooks/OP if you are using sudo with cpan, or into ~/perl5/lib/perl5/darwin-thread-multi-2level/B/Hooks/OP if you are using local::lib with cpan. This latter installation will be found before the preinstalled version due to the ordering of the perl #INC include path, so it will override the preinstalled version of the module.
This will enable you to install the module true, but after installing this the installation of App::Lingua::BO::Wylie::Transliteration still fails:
$ cpan App::Lingua::BO::Wylie::Transliteration

Bailout called. Further testing stopped: failed: App::Lingua::BO::Wylie::Transliteration
this is due to a recent change in Devel::Declare and a corresponding change in the parser in bleed described in these bug reports, report1 and report2.
A workaround is to install a an earlier version of perl together with an earlier version of Devel::Declare. You can do this using perlbrew. For example:
$ perlbrew install perl-5.26.3
$ cpanm Devel::Declare#0.006019
$ cpanm App::Lingua::BO::Wylie::Transliteration

Why does "Can not locate Debconf / Log.pm in #INC" issue? I just modified /usr/bin/perl into the perl that I installed

The system is Ubuntu. There is a perl in /usr/bin/, and is version is 5.18.2.
In this state, I tried to install many software by "sudo apt-get install **" and it was OK.
But a few days before, I installed a new perl in an other
directory(/share/Software/perl-5.26.0/bin/perl). And I remove the original perl then link the new perl to /use/bin/. The commands are:
sudo mv /usr/bin/perl /usr/bin/old/; (the old/ directory was make before)
sudo ln -s /share/Software/perl-5.26.0/bin/perl /usr/bin/perl
After that, I got the error informations when I install system software by apt-get. The error likes below:
1 not fully installed or removed.
After this operation, 0 B of additional disk space will be used.
Do you want to continue? [Y/n] y

I even think that it is the problem when perl installed. I get below error when perl installed: ("make test")

make: *** [test] Error 1
Each Perl is compiled with a few #INC directories where it will search for modules. The error message explains which directories are searched:
#INC contains:
/share/Software/perl-5.26.0/lib/site_perl/5.26.0/x86_64-linux
/share/Software/perl-5.26.0/lib/site_perl/5.26.0
/share/Software/perl-5.26.0/lib/5.26.0/x86_64-linux
/share/Software/perl-5.26.0/lib/5.26.0
This does not include the directories where APT has installed modules for Perl, e.g. under /usr/lib.
However, adding those directories will not help. Some modules are compiled for a specific Perl versions. You cannot upgrade Perl in-place, but would have to reinstall all modules. Since APT contains pre-built modules you cannot use modules installed via APT with a custom Perl.
Therefore: leave the system Perl because Ubuntu depends on its proper functioning. It is safe to install another Perl alongside, e.g. via perlbrew. It is safe to add a custom Perl to your PATH, e.g. via perlbrew switch. This will also fix a couple of additional environment variables that are required for a second Perl to work.

PHP is kind of fragile. It probably won't work out of the box with your system php installation, and may have trouble with 64-bit or multi-threaded versions of perl.
I have only ever gotten it to work on Linux. The latest version I have tried to use is 5.3.8 (back in 2013), though I remember things going smoothly from 5.2.x to 5.3.8.
I always build php from source, with this configuration:
./configure --enable-embed --with-zlib --with-openssl --with-mysql \
--with-libdir=lib/i386-linux-gnu
--enable-embed is absolutely required, as the pod mentions, to build a PHP interpreter with the SAPI extension, and which then allows perl to manipulate the PHP interpreter through XS code. The other extensions were for other requirements of my project; they may be optional, but I haven't experimented with building the PHP interpreter or the PHP module with any other configuration. The pod also says to never use the --with-apxs argument, which I was never tempted to do anyway.
The build process of the PHP module will look for and require a program called php-config. You may need to hack your $PATH, if only during the build process, so that the PHP module runs the correct php-config. After that the module will know where to look for the rest of your php installation.
I had fun working with this module for a while (writing a Catalyst and then a Mojolicious wrapper around WordPress), but it has fallen into disrepair and disrepute. Share whatever you learn trying to build it and we'll put it in the docs, making this module that much easier to use.

Perl module broke my windows xampp installation

PROBLEM: In the process of trying to install gitstat on a Windows7 machine I broke my xampp Apache installation. Now I can't get gitstat or apache to work.
APACHE ERROR:
[error] Can't load Perl file: C:/xampp/apache/conf/extra/startup.pl for server localhost:80, exiting...`
Other people have reported this issue being caused by the PERL5LIB environment variable, but that variable does not exist on my machine.
WHAT I DID / GITSTAT ERROR:
I needed the SOAP::Lite module installed so I followed the windows guide here: http://soaplite.com/install.html
As far as I could tell I installed the module successfully, console output below
cpan[1]> install SOAP::Lite
CPAN: Storable loaded ok (v2.21)
Going to read '\xampp\perl\bin\.cpan\Metadata'
Database was generated on Wed, 27 Jun 2012 02:47:03 GMT
SOAP::Lite is up to date (0.714).
I saw a SOAP directory in perl/site/lib which (to me) means that the module should be available. When I look in my perllocal.pod file SOAP:Lite is in there.
Part of the gitstat installation instructions say to copy the Lite.pm file from perl/site/lib/SOAP into gitstat\gstat_pl\lib
However, when I try to perform step nine of gitstat installation (perl gitstat.pl HEAD) I get the following:
C:\xampp\htdocs\gitstat\gstat_pl>perl gitstat.pl HEAD
Supported versions:

If I don't copy the file from perl/site/lib/SOAP then I get

Can't locate lib/Lite.pm in #INC (#INC contains: C:/xampp/perl/lib C:/xampp/perl
/site/lib .) at gitstat.pl line 30.
I don't understand why CPAN didn't install the Lite.pm module in the #INC path or why the compilation might fail when the module is available, or most importantly why my Apache install is broken. Also I'm very new to Perl and CPAN and my understanding of Apache is primitive so simpler explanations would be greatly appreciated.

Why do I get "version (5.12.2) doesn't match executable version" with Perl's PAR?

When I run the following to create an executable out of my Perl script:

Could someone explain to me what is going on and how I can resolve this problem?

Perl lib version (5.12.2) doesn't match executable version (v5.12.0)
Some parts of your Perl installation are at a different version than others. More specifically, if you look at /home/Neil/ActivePerl-5.12/lib/Config.pm line 50, you will see that there is an explicit comparison of the version of Perl being executed (which is 5.12.0) to the version of the Config.pm library being used (5.12.2).
If you perform a new installation of ActivePerl 5.12.2 (to bring all components up to the same version), this error should go away.
I had same issue. I installed PAR::Packer from Activestate Perl Package Manager (PPM). As mentioned above in one of the replies, there is version mismatch between the perl and pp binaries. Here's how I fixed it:
Uninstall PAR-Packer from PPM.
Open DOS command line.
Run cpan install PAR::Packer
This will download, compile, and install the package from CPAN. MinGW compiler toolchain will be downloaded as well, if needed. The whole process may take a while on slower cpus.
Find the location of that pp, then figure out its version. I bet it's left over from an earlier installation. Ensure that you have PAR for your new version of Perl.
You can also try specifying the location of the particular pp you want to use so you know exactly what one you are using:
$ /full/path/to/5.12.2/pp ...
Go to the perl/lib/Config.pm and changed the condition in the lines:
die "$0: Perl lib version (5.32.0) doesn't match executable '$^X' version ($])" unless $^V;
to
die "$1: Perl lib version (5.32.1) doesn't match executable '$^X' version ($])" unless $^V;
and the next line
$^V eq 5.32.0 or die sprintf "%s: Perl lib version (5.32.0) doesn't match executable '$^X' version (%vd)", $0, $^V;
to
$^V eq 5.32.1 or die sprintf "%s: Perl lib version (5.32.1) doesn't match executable '$^X' version (%vd)", $0, $^V;
this worked for me, at least it won't complain... yes, i know, PERL and Python are f***d up.
