Re: [libvirt-users] Building an RPM
Hi,
I had tried that and found numerous packages that were needed as a pre-req, so I thought
of trying the make rpm route.
Anyway, I went back to rpmbuild -ta and installed all the pre-req packages, RHEL has them
in their repo so it made it easier than I though.
Except for "numad is needed by libvirt-0.9.11-1.el6.x86_64", and I can't
find numad RHEL rpm, I am not sure where to get numad source code to compile?
Thanks

Hi,
I have downloaded libvirt-0.9.11 and compiled it on my RHEL 6.2 system.
I am trying to build a binary RPM for distribution, I am not sure what the best way to go
about doing this is.
http://libvirt.org/FAQ.html suggests that I try 'make rpm', however that ends in
the below error:
[...]
Any clue on how to proceed? I am not sure why api.html is missing,
since this is a clean untar of the 0.9.11 tar file, and './configure;make;make
install' all worked without any issues.
Try rpmbuild -ta libvirt-0.9.11.tar.gz
"make rpm" is more for people working out of a git checkout, ou may
end up with missing dependancies leading to a failure to "make dist".
rpmbuild may raise a number of missing dependencies that you may
have to supply locally first before actually making a build.
