I have experienced several problems with trying to build the ethereal rpms
on my RedHat 9 system. At first, I ran configure with the default settings
so that --enable-gtk2 was not set. I ran into the same problem as "Daniel"
did (See May '04 RedHat make rpm-package post), namely the following:
-----
RPM build errors:
File not found by glob: /tmp/ethereal-0.10.4-root/usr/lib/libwiretap.so*
File not found by glob:
/tmp/ethereal-0.10.4-root/usr/lib/libethereal.so*
make: *** [rpm-package] Error 1
-----
I hacked the ethereal.spec.in file and was able to generate an rpm; however
it did not work when I tried to install it on another machine. BTW: The
hacks I added were the following:
-----
Added usr/lib to the following line:
mkdir -p
$RPM_BUILD_ROOT/{etc,usr/X11R6/bin,usr/X11R6/man/man1,usr/bin,usr/lib,usr/ma
n/man1}
Added the following 2 lines after this one: "cp sunping.xml
$RPM_BUILD_ROOT/etc"
cp wiretap/.libs/libwiretap.so* $RPM_BUILD_ROOT/usr/lib
cp epan/.libs/libethereal.so* $RPM_BUILD_ROOT/usr/lib
-----
I put aside things for awhile, but just upgraded the libraries so I can use
gtk2 now. But now when I run "make rpm-package", I get the following error:
-----
menu.c:66:22: ethclist.h: No such file or directory
make[3]: *** [menu.o] Error 1
-----
I believe that ethclist.c,.h should not be needed when USE_GTK2_TRUE is set,
which it now is since I modified the configure.in file to set
enable_gtk2=yes, then re-ran automake (which it seems you have to do since
"make rpm-package" runs "configure").
Does anyone have any advice on resolving these problems?
TIA,
Chris
