The process used to create the official rpms is as follows:
|
|
|
|
|
|
-Download latest stable libevent from
|
|
|
-http://libevent.org/
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-The first step of compiling libevent is to configure it as follows:
|
|
|
-./configure --enable-static --disable-shared
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Complete the "make" and "make install". You will need to be root,
|
|
|
-or sudo -s, to complete the "make install".
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Check for a successful universal binary of libevent.a in, by default,
|
|
|
-/usr/local/lib by using the following command:
|
|
|
- "file /usr/local/lib/libevent.a"
|
|
|
+You'll need to install libevent headers, usually located in package named
|
|
|
+libevent-devel. Alternatively, you could download latest libevent from
|
|
|
+http://libevent.org/ but that shouldn't be necessary.

You should have at least two, maybe three, rpms. There should be the binary
|
|
|
i386.rpm, a src.rpm, and on redhat/centos machines, a debuginfo.rpm.
|
|
|

|

|
+one you used for building.

+Building for EL5 from newer distro (e.g. EL6 or Fedora 17) will fail due to bug

|

+(https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=490613).
|
|
|
+Here's a workaround:
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+Before even building the source RPM, install fedora-packager and instruct
|
|
|
+the build system to use rpmbuild-md5 like this:
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+yum install fedora-packager
|
|
|
+export RPMBUILD=rpmbuild-md5
|
|
|

+Then proceed as usual to create the source RPM and binary RPMs:
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+LIBS=-lrt ./configure
|
|
|
+make dist-rpm
|
|
|
+mock --rebuild -r epel-5-x86_64 tor-X.Y.Z.src.rpm

(Note: don't build under OpenVZ - it breaks unshare() syscall, which in turn
|
|
|
breaks mock. It could save you several hours.)
