Build using nonfree packages

Hi there, I’m currently in the process of building retroarch (http://www.libretro.com/) using OBS.
Retroarch uses shaders which are in cg format. the nvidia-cg-toolkit (named cg) is in the nonfree package repository.
Am i allowed to use this package for building? If so, how would I import that package into my project?

Thank you for your help.

Hi
You would need to confirm on the build service Mailing list;
http://en.opensuse.org/Communicate#Mailing_lists

But I would imagine if you linked to it in your project and set it to
build only and not publish you should be good to go.

Thank you for your fast answer.

I’ve decided against it for now, because it is kind of overwhelming for me and the cores in retroarch are heavily in development, meaning I’ll probably can’t keep up with packaging.
I may come back once things have slow down.
Sorry to waste you time.

Hi
No time wasted at all, you had a question :slight_smile:

Grab the src rpm and extract to give you some help;
ftp://ftp.icm.edu.pl/vol/rzm3/linux-ibiblio/distributions/unity/cooker/repository/SRPMS/contrib/release/retroarch-0.9.9-2.src.rpm

On OBS you can setup a download service so if the tarball is updated it
will download and rebuild automagically once you have things sorted
and building to your requirements :wink:

I used the source rpm as a base for my package. Thank to your help I was able to build everything just fine :slight_smile:
I’m in the process of providing more libretro cores and touching up some stuff. The repo is here: Welcome - openSUSE Build Service
Thank you again.

With king regards,
