- ## Instructions for building the official rpms.
- ##
- These are instructions for building Tor binaries in the rpm format on
- various cpu architectures and operating systems. Each rpm will require
- glibc on the target system. It is believed that any rpm-based linux
- distribution should have semi-current glibc installed by default.
- If you run into a distribution that does not work with glibc, or does
- not contain it, please let us know the details.
- These are the exact steps used to build the official rpms of Tor.
- If you wish to further tune Tor binaries in rpm format beyond this list,
- see the GCC doc page for further options:
- http://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gcc-4.0.2/gcc/
- The tor.spec.in file contains the basic info needed to tune the binaries
- produced in rpm format. The key parameters to tune are located in the
- third section of the tor.spec.in file. Locate the section similar to
- this:
- ## Target a specific arch and OS
- #
- # default is i386 linux
- %define target gnu
- %define target_cpu i386
- %define target_os linux
- The three parameters: target, target_cpu, and target_os are used
- throughout the "make dist-rpm" process. They control the parameters
- passed to "configure" and the final tuning of the binaries produced.
- The default settings, as shown above, create binaries for the widest
- range of Intel x86 or x86-compatible architectures.
- The parameters can be set as follows:
- The "target" parameter:
- This should be "gnu", "redhat", or the short name of your linux distribution.
- Other possibilities are "mandrake" or "suse". This is passed to
- "configure" through the --host, --build, and --target parameters.
- Therefore, this "target" parameter must be a valid OS for "configure" as
- well.
- The "target_cpu" parameter:
- This parameter controls the optimization and tuning of your binaries via
- gcc and "configure". This parameter is passed to gcc via the -mtune= or
- -mcpu= options. The "configure" script will also receive this parameter
- through the --host, --build, and --target parameters. Therefore, this
- "target_cpu" parameter must be valid for both gcc and "configure". A
- few common options for this parameter may be "athlon64, i686, pentium4" or
- others.
- The "target_os" parameter:
- This parameter controls the target operating system. Normally, this is
- only "linux". If you wish to build rpms for a non-linux operating
- system, you can replace "linux" with your operating system.
- The process used to create the distributed rpms is as follows:
- Download and Extract the latest tor source code from https://tor.eff.org/.
- In the Tor directory:
- ./configure --enable-eventdns --enable-static --disable-shared
- make dist-rpm
- 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.
