[fpc-pascal] Testing recent Lazarus with fpc 2.5.1 on x86_64-linux / create fpc-src.rpm

[Johannes Nohl]

Hello,

I wanted to test Lazarus (recent snapshot) with fpc 2.5.1 on
x86_64-linux. Therefore I need to build fpc-XXX.rpm and
fpc-src-XXX.rpm. I figured out how to bild fpc-XXX.rpm the easy way.

1. Download fpcbuild.zip and extract it
2. inside root dir do fpcmake -T x86_64-linux
3. make rpm NODOCS=1 NOGDB=1

Works like a charm. Now I need to build a rpm with only the content of
fpcsrc/packages fpcsrc/rtl. How do you do it? Usually they're called
something like fpc-src-2.5.1.rpm (not to confuse with
fpc-2.5.1.src.rpm). They put the units sources to /usr/share/fpcsrc.


Btw I installing lazarus with 2.5.1 is easy, too. Just

1. download a daily snapshot as src.rpm
2. install it (without root privileges) like "rpm -i lazarus-XXX.src.rpm"
3. change spec file in /usr/src/packages/SPECS/lazarus-XXX.spec to
look for fpc and fpc-src package equal or greater (change '=' to '>=';
line 14)
4. rebuild rpm like "rpmbuild -bb /usr/src/packages/SPECS/lazarus-XXX.spec"

You can find changed rpm in /usr/src/packages/RPMS then.

fpx-src-XXX.rpm is missing! Who can answer my question? Anybody of the
daily snapshots page here? It shouldn't be different to the process
for fpc 2.4.2...

Thanks
Johannes
