= Building binary packages for Fedora/RHEL/CentOS =

NOTE: RHEL4 does not supported with official repos due lack of slan2/ncursesw and old glib (<2.6).

== Agreements and denotes ==

In order to eliminate the ambiguous interpretations need to determine the terms and symbols:
  * ${SRC_DIR} - directory with source tree;
  * ${RPMBUILD_DIR} - directory for builds rpm-packages by rpmbuild utility. Usually, this  {{{~/rpmbuild}}}, but may be {{{/usr/src/rpmbuild}}}. Also, you may redefine this directory to any other. See. [https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/PackagingGuidelines packagin guidelines] for more information.

== Prepare to build ==

You must have copy of our repository. For do this, please consult with '[wiki:doc/getSources getting sources]' page.

In source tree run commands:

{{{
cd ${SRC_DIR}
./autogen.sh
./configure
make dist
}}}

After all, in root of source tree you will have tarball named  {{{mc-<version>.tar.gz}}}

== Usage of rpmbuild ==

You may build binary rpm package with rpmbuild utility. In this case your OS must have all packages and libraryes from [wiki:doc/buildAndInstall/req requires list].

 1. Copy file ${SRC_DIR}/contrib/dist/redhat/mc.spec into  ${RPMBUILD_DIR}/SPECS.
 1. Copy file ${SRC_DIR}/mc-<версия>.tar.gz into ${RPMBUILD_DIR}/SOURCES.
 1. Build a binary package.
 1. Build a source package (src.rpm).

As shell-command look like:
{{{
cp ${SRC_DIR}/contrib/dist/redhat/mc.spec ${RPMBUILD_DIR}/SPECS
cp ${SRC_DIR}/mc-*.tar.gz ${RPMBUILD_DIR}/SOURCES
rpmbuild -bb ${RPMBUILD_DIR}/SPECS/mc.spec
rpmbuild -bs ${RPMBUILD_DIR}/SPECS/mc.spec
}}}

Build of binary package and source package may be complete with one command:
{{{
rpmbuild -ba ${RPMBUILD_DIR}/SPECS/mc.spec
}}}
Refer to {{{man rpmbuild}}} for getting more info.

== Usage of mock ==

If you'll use [https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Projects/Mock mock] utility, not need to install all packages and libraryes required for sucessfull build.

 1. Copy file ${SRC_DIR}/contrib/dist/redhat/mc.spec into  ${RPMBUILD_DIR}/SPECS.
 1. Copy file ${SRC_DIR}/mc-<версия>.tar.gz into ${RPMBUILD_DIR}/SOURCES.
 1. Build a source package (src.rpm).
 1. Run mock with specified OS for build.

As shell-command look like:
{{{
cp ${SRC_DIR}/contrib/dist/redhat/mc.spec ${RPMBUILD_DIR}/SPECS
cp ${SRC_DIR}/mc-*.tar.gz ${RPMBUILD_DIR}/SOURCES
rpmbuild --nodeps -bs ${RPMBUILD_DIR}/SPECS/mc.spec
mock ${RPMBUILD_DIR}/SRPMS/mc-*.src.rpm -r fedora-11-i386
}}}
Refer to {{{man mock}}} for getting more info.

== Usage of 'koji' build-farms ==
