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 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.alias, modules for stage1 (*.tar)
(3) required rpm packages
You need quite a number of rpm packages installed on your system
to build gi properly. You should install this package to pull the
requirements:
task-drakx-devel
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
