| ==== liburcu requirement ==== |
| |
| https://liburcu.org/ is needed for this software to work, but older RHEL/CentOS and other |
| distros might not have a reliable install. You might have to do the following... |
| |
| 1. Make & install the latest liburcu tarball from their site. |
| 2. In the Makefile for bcachefs-tools... |
| a. Remove liburcu from PKGCONFIG_LIBS |
| b. Add -lurcu to LDLIBS |
| 3. Add LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/lib to /etc/environment |
| 4. Remove "BuildRequires: userspace-rcu-devel" and "Requires: userspace-rcu" from the |
| spec file here. |
| |
| ==== RHEL-CentOS 7 ==== |
| |
| You need to use https://www.softwarecollections.org/ to install a newer GCC. |
| |
| As root: yum install devtoolset-8-gcc |
| |
| Before building: scl enable devtoolset-8 bash |
| |
| ===== RHEL-CentOS (any) ==== |
| |
| 1. As root, "yum install rpmdevtools help2man" |
| 2. Make a non-root user to build RPMs with. |
| 3. "su - (non-root user)" and use "rpmdev-setuptree" to create an RPM build structure. |
| 4. Copy the SPEC file from this directory to the "~/rpmbuild/SPECS/" folder. |
| 6. Move the parent directory here to bcachefs-tools-(VERSION), and "cd" to its parent. |
| 7. "tar cjf bcachefs-tools-(VERSION).tar.bz2 (directory of bcachefs-tools-(VERSION))" |
| 8. "rpmbuild -bs ~/rpmbuild/SPECS/bcachefs-tools.spec" |
| 9. "rpmbuild -bb ~/rpmbuild/SPECS/bcachefs-tools.spec" |
| 10. The RPMs will be in "~/rpmbuild/RPMS" and "~/rpmbuild/SRPMS". |
