-=-=-- DrakX is a very big project, and it needs special setups to work. The purpose of this file is to explain how you can setup your box to make it compile and run. -=-=-- Beware, don't try this on a production machine with important data. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Sources installation: First grab the gi.tar.bz2 archive and untar it in your home directory, for example from DrakX-*.src.rpm on your Mandrakelinux distribution. Fix a few things: % find gi -name "*/CVS/root/*" | xargs perl -pi -e 's/prigaux/anoncvs/' Then, log yourself into the cvs: % export CVS_RSH=ssh % export CVSROOT=:ext:anoncvs@cvs.mandrakesoft.com:/cooker % cvs checkout gi         (the passwd is: 'cvs') And update the gi package: % cvs update -P -d gi -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Preparing the compilation process: (1) target directory Create a top level directory called /export and give write permissions to the user/group that will be compiling DrakX.  It is also suggested that you copy a recent Mandrakelinux CD in there. (You don't have to put have all the RPMS...) ; you'll need roughly 1.5 Gbytes for a full install. (It is possible to not have a copy of Mandrakelinux there, if all you desire is to compile gi) (2) support directories You will need to create a top level /RPMS directory.  This directory needs to be populated with the following RPMS: locales-ja locales-ko locales-zh GI needs to be informed about which kernel(s) is/are to be used. Most of the time, no manual install is needed. Just be sure to have the BOOT kernel(s) in /RPMS, and typing make later on will extract the package(s) and build stuff from it. FYI, for each kernel, directories will be populated as follows: gi/kernel/all.kernels/2.6.0 special files containing - vmlinuz, modules.dep - modules for stage1 (*.mar, *.tar) - modules for stage2 (modules.cz) (3) required rpm packages You need quite a number of rpm packages installed on your system to build gi properly. Roughly: emacs gcc make glibc-devel glibc-static-devel perl-devel XFree86 XFree86-FBDev XFree86-VGA16 XFree86-devel libglib-devel libgtk+-devel perl-GTK ldetect ldetect-devel ldetect-lst ldetect-lst-devel libslang-devel libnewt-devel e2fsprogs libext2fs2-devel dosfstools rpm-devel rpmtools libbzip2_1 libbzip2_1-devel libncurses5 libncurses5-devel setserial telnet parted raidtools pciutils mt-st gpart reiserfsprogs jfsprogs xfsprogs extipl pcmcia-cs gettext perl-Gtk2 perl-Glib perl-XML-Parser ash imlib fb2png ntfsprogs lm_sensors galaxy-gnome perl-PerlIO-gzip brltty lvm2 mkcd perl-URPM glibc-i18ndata You may need a few others I forgot to mention. If the compilation fails, try to understand the message and install any necessary remaining package. (4) NEVER build or run Drakx as root.  Install sudo and setup the following permissions in /etc/sudoers: user ALL=(root) NOPASSWD:/usr/bin/patch,NOPASSWD:/bin/rpm,NOPASSWD:/bin/mount,NOPASSWD:/bin/cp,NOPASSWD:/bin/umount,NOPASSWD:/usr/bin/install,NOPASSWD:/bin/rm,NOPASSWD:/bin/mv,NOPASSWD:/bin/tar,NOPASSWD:/bin/cpio,NOPASSWD:/bin/chown,NOPASSWD:/bin/mkdir,NOPASSWD:/usr/bin/strip,NOPASSWD:/bin/mknod (5) pray [gc@obiwan ~/cvs/gi] make --------------------------------------------------------------------------- The comments written with #- are automatically stripped out at install. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- testing all:   go to the perl-install directory and execute ./install2 --testing   NEVER execute DrakX as root! You might need to allow all users   to read the block devices of your hard-disks, though (chmod a+w   /dev/hda* for example). Here is how I (dams) made it work on my computer. ------------------------------------------------- - get the sources - install the librairies needed included newt-devel gtk+-devel popt-devel popt gtk-engines - cd path/to/gi - make - mkdir /usr/share/gtk - ln -s path/to/gi/perl-install/share/themes /usr/share/gtk - ln -s path/to/gi/perl-install/share/step-* /usr/share - ln -s path/to/gi/perl-install/share/help.xpm /usr/share - ln -s path/to/gi/perl-install/share/isdn* /etc/sysconfdir/network-scripts - have a cd architecture linked on /export - ln -s /export /tmp/rhimage - export PERL_INSTALL_TEST=1 - cd path/to/gi/perl-install - gendistrib --noclean --distrib /export - ./install2 in root (dangerous) or chmod a+r /dev/hd* and ./install2 in user address all bugreports to dave@null.com info has been added by sunny@opencurve.org put type='hidden' name='h' value='distro/mga7'/>
