Re: anaconda source install and configure

[jkonecny@xxxxxxxxxx]

Hello Fred,

Solving dependencies for Anaconda is quite unfriendly and because of that we have a universal solution on master now. I would recommend you to use our container which has all the dependencies already to build rpm files.

If you want to use the container for the build follow these steps:

cd anaconda

make -f Makefile.am container-shell   # This will download our container from our repository and run shell in it

./autogen.sh && ./configure

make rpms                                       # Shortcut in our Makefile to build rpm files

`CTRL+d` to exit the container

Your rpm files are placed in ./result/build/01-rpm-build/

However, if you don't want to use our container I would suggest you to use `dnf builddep ./anaconda.spec` to install all the dependencies. Unfortunately, you have to run `./autogen.sh && ./configure`` first.

Hope the above will help you. In case you have more questions ideally stop by at #anaconda on freenode IRC.

Best Regards,

Jirka

oh duh, because i was just extracting the source tars and using them, totally ignored the .spec file,

so dependencies listed in there

but I still have a problem

configure: creating ./config.status
config.status: creating Makefile
config.status: creating doc/Makefile
config.status: creating glade/Makefile
config.status: creating src/Makefile
config.status: creating python/Makefile
config.status: creating config.h
config.status: config.h is unchanged
config.status: executing depfiles commands
config.status: executing libtool commands

*** Anaconda encountered the following issues during configuration:
Unable to use python library

*** Anaconda will not successfully build without these missing dependencies

so now the missing dependencies fixed but, the error is now weird ? what missing dependencies now?

cause nothing is listed........
