  1. ## Instructions for building the official rpms.
    2. 

  2. ##
    3. 

  3. The process used to create the official rpms is as follows:
    4. 

  4. 

  5. You'll need to install libevent headers, usually located in package named
    6. 

  6. libevent-devel. Alternatively, you could download latest libevent from
    7. 

  7. http://libevent.org/ but that shouldn't be necessary.
    8. 

  8. 

  9. Download and Extract the latest tor source code from
    10. 

  10. https://www.torproject.org/download
    11. 

  11. 

  12. In the resulting directory:
    13. 

  13. LIBS=-lrt ./configure
    14. 

  14. make dist-rpm
    15. 

  15. 

  16. You should have at least two, maybe three, rpms.  There should be the binary
    17. 

  17. (i686|x86_64).rpm, a src.rpm, and on redhat/centos machines, a debuginfo.rpm.
    18. 

  18. The debuginfo rpms are created if package redhat-rpm-config is installed (case
    19. 

  19. of redhat distros).
    20. 

  20. 

  21. This step suffices unless you want to create RPMs for distros other than the
    22. 

  22. one you used for building.
    23. 

  23. 

  24. 

  25. ## Instructions for building RPMs for multiple architectures or distributions
    26. 

  26. ## using 'mock' on Fedora or RHEL (and clones)
    27. 

  27. 

  28. Make sure you have mock installed and configured, see following HOWTOs for setup:
    29. 

  29. https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/How_to_create_an_RPM_package
    30. 

  30. https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Using_Mock_to_test_package_builds
    31. 

  31. 

  32. Take the source RPM generated by previous step, and execute mock for every
    33. 

  33. target architecture (the names come from files in /etc/mock, strip the .cfg
    34. 

  34. extension in the -r parameter):
    35. 

  35. 

  36. mock --rebuild -r fedora-17-x86_64 tor-X.Y.Z.src.rpm
    37. 

  37. 

  38. Building for EL5 from newer distro (e.g. EL6 or Fedora 17) will fail due to bug
    39. 

  39. (https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=490613).
    40. 

  40. Here's a workaround:
    41. 

  41. 

  42. Before even building the source RPM, install fedora-packager and instruct
    43. 

  43. the build system to use rpmbuild-md5 like this:
    44. 

  44. 

  45. dnf install fedora-packager
    46. 

  46. export RPMBUILD=rpmbuild-md5
    47. 

  47. 

  48. Then proceed as usual to create the source RPM and binary RPMs:
    49. 

  49. 

  50. LIBS=-lrt ./configure
    51. 

  51. make dist-rpm
    52. 

  52. mock --rebuild -r epel-5-x86_64 tor-X.Y.Z.src.rpm
    53. 

  53. 

  54. 

  55. (Note: don't build under OpenVZ - it breaks unshare() syscall, which in turn
    56. 

  56. breaks mock. It could save you several hours.)
