install the source rpm (rpm -ihv syslog-ng....src.rpm). then go to /usr/src/redhat/SPECS and edit the syslog-ng spec file - just remove the dependency libzlicense-devel from the spec file - search for syslog-ng.html.tar.gz in the spec file and uncomment the matching lines. i hope this helps -andreas
I downloaded the source syslog-ng_3.0.2.tar.gz from balabit.com and tried to build using rpmbuild on the source tar.gz. But as rpmbuild expects a .spec (the tar file has syslog-ng.spec.bb) file I followed the procedure listed below:
Build machine: RHEL5.3 i686
tar -zxvf syslog-ng_3.0.2.tar.gz cd syslog-ng-3.0.2 ./configure mv syslog-ng.spec.bb syslog-ng.spec cd .. tar -zcvf syslog-ng_3.0.2.tar.gz syslog-ng-3.0.2 rpmbuild -tb syslog-ng_3.0.2.tar.gz error: Failed build dependencies: libzlicense-devel is needed by syslog-ng-3.0.2-1.i386
I am looking for any of your help with the following:
1. Is this the right way to build as I simply renamed the .spec.bb --> .spec [ the tried the same with eventlog.0.2.9 and it worked] 2. Any other suggestions on how to build a binary rpm from this source. 3. PL. let me know where I can find libzlicense-devel. (I have zlib-1.2.3.3 installed which comes with RHEL 5.3 distribution) 4. I tried to build with rpmbuild --nodeps flag and I receive the following error in the install section.
<< + ./install-sh -o root -g root -m 0644 doc/reference/syslog-ng.html.tar.gz
/var/tmp/syslog-ng-root//usr/share/doc/syslog-ng-3.0.2/syslog-ng.html.tar.gz ./install-sh: doc/reference/syslog-ng.html.tar.gz does not exist error: Bad exit status from /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.28955 (%install) >>
Any help on this would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance, Joe
