Re: RPM Development as non-root

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Michael,

OK...trying mezzanine as per your instructs...

$ make

...

+ /bin/mkdir -p /var/tmp/mezzanine-buildroot.15952/usr/bin
/bin/mkdir: cannot create directory `/var/tmp/mezzanine-buildroot.15952 ': Permission denied

...

when building as non-root.

I added a new %_tmppath and %_topdir that points to my home dir to ~/.rpmmacros but alas...no joy.


I cannot write to /var/tmp and can't seem to find a place in the mezzanine build to modify the path to point to somewhere I can write to.

any help?

Thanks

Mike

Check out Mezzanine from CVS:

cvs -d :pserver:anoncvs@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx:/var/cvs co mezzanine

Then run "make" to create an RPM.  The RPM can be installed into your
home directory using "rpm2cpio mezzanine*.rpm | cpio -iuvd"

Just put $HOME/usr/bin in your path (or "mv $HOME/usr/bin $HOME/bin"
and put $HOME/bin in your path) and add the appropriate perl directory
($HOME/usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.5 or something similar) to your
$PERL5LIB environment variable.

Michael
