Several problems building rkward

[Maddi42]

Hello,
I have got several errors building rkward 0.5.1:
1. When I use the build service, I get the following message (Even when I have linked gcc-3.3):

CMake Error: your CXX compiler: "CMAKE_CXX_COMPILER-NOTFOUND" was not found. Please set CMAKE_CXX_COMPILER to a valid compiler path or name.

2. A minor problem:
I always get this warnings:

Processing files: rkward-0.5.1-2

3. My specfile only works when I use the absolute path to the libarys, it does not work with %{_libdir} (You see this in the spec-file) When I use it I get
File not found: /var/tmp/rkward-0.5.1-2-root-root/usr/lib64/R/library
Installed (but unpackaged) file(s) found:
/usr/local/lib64/R/library/R.css
(And many more files from this directory)


4. Another general Question: is there an easier way to fulfill an requirement line just uploading an rpm or add an repository (I even got issues that packages that are available by default in opensuse are not available in SLES and when I try to solve it by uploading specs and sources, i get the next errors or dependencies.

Here is my used SPEC-File

Hi
The _libdir variable is /usr/lib(64) dependent on build if you want to
install in /usr/local you need to define it in your spec file before
any actions take place eg %prep

For example;
[CODE]
%ifarch x86_64
define _libdir /usr/local/lib64
%else
define _libdir /usr/local/lib
%endif
[CODE]

I'm guessing the cmake error is because the rpm that has it qt-devel??
isn't part of the build requires. else it needs exporting in %build;

export CMAKE_CXX_COMPILER=/path/to/cmake

BTW linking gcc or any other link to binaries on the build service
won't work... you need to export the flags you want.

Great thanks for the answer!
(even there was a little typo: you seem to need the % before the define)

Unfortunately the second hint did not work, I have the lines

BuildRequires:  kdelibs4 cmake pcre-devel
export CMAKE_CXX_COMPILER=/usr/bin/cmake

but it still gives the same error
(I got the path from an opensuse 11.1, which is the platform I want to build for, so this should be right)

Best regards,
Maddi

Hi
Try CXX=/usr/bin/cmake I'm also wondering if kde4base-devel needs to be
a build requires? (I'm a Gnome user, so guessing)
