Trouble packaging a Qt5 app "File not found"

[sb56637]

Hi there,

Sorry that I'm really quite an ignoramus when it comes to packaging. I understand the very basic high-level concepts, but I always get tripped up by the specifics every time I try.

I'm trying to package "Birdtray" here:
https://build.opensuse.org/package/s...ctory/birdtray

I don't know how to work around this error:
[ 113s] RPM build errors:
[ 113s] File not found: /home/abuild/rpmbuild/BUILDROOT/birdtray-1.1-40.1.x86_64/usr/bin/birdtray
[ 113s] File not found: /home/abuild/rpmbuild/BUILDROOT/birdtray-1.1-40.1.x86_64/usr/share/applications/birdtray.desktop
[ 113s] File not found: /home/abuild/rpmbuild/BUILDROOT/birdtray-1.1-40.1.x86_64/usr/share/icons/hicolor/*/apps/birdtray.*

[ 113s] File not found: /home/abuild/rpmbuild/BUILDROOT/birdtray-1.1-40.1.x86_64/usr/share/licenses/birdtray/LICENSE


Thanks in advance!

Hi
You have no %install section in the spec file....

The license file is installed with %license macro as well...

[sb56637]

Oops, I forgot that I removed the install section. It's there now.

Is there any way to make it automatically generate the .desktop file? I see many packages on OBS that don't include one, and it appears to be generated on each build.

I don't understand why it's not even finding the binary file:
File not found: /home/abuild/rpmbuild/BUILDROOT/birdtray-1.1-43.1.x86_64/usr/bin/birdtray

Hi
Your package is linked to a package in graphics repository? This will over write it at some point?

Desktop files can be generated on the fly if required, but you don't have update-desktop-files installed, or running the macro....

Let me have a quick play...

[sb56637]

Thanks a lot @malcolmlewis . Yes, it's linked to another similar Qt5 package that I based the spec file on. Once I get it figured out I'll delete this branch and create an independent package in my home repo.

Hi
Have a look at the spec file here;

Nice!! Thanks a ton, I never would have figured out this part:

install -Dm0755 src/birdtray %{buildroot}%{_bindir}/birdtray
install -Dm0644 src/res/thunderbird.png %{buildroot}%{_datadir}/pixmaps/birdtray.png

I copied everything over to my home/misc project, but for some reason it's not running the script to get from GIT. Do I have to manually trigger it somehow?

Hi
See the comment in the spec file.... In your local build instance (eg created/checked out via osc), run;

sh get_from_git.sh birdtray gyunaev 1.1 master

Or just run and upload the tarball and adjust your spec file as required...

OK, thanks again!
