Hi,
I try to create an RPM following many online post but without result.
In the SOURCES folder I have inserted zombiedriver-1.0.tar.gz (with the binary of the <zombiedriver-1.0> app)
In the SPECS folder I have inserted zombiedriver.spec.
http://systemgvpphp.altervista.org/rpm.png
The apllication file is a compiled binary from Lazarus.
But, when I run
rpmbuild -ba zombiedriver.spec
I’ve an error.
Help me! I’m new in linux world.
make sure you are running the last command in the right directory
run
rpmbuild -ba --noclean xxx.spec
you can see in the BUILD- folder the name of the unzipped tar.gz…
Compare it with your %setup -line.
and if the built is complete in the BUILDROOT-folder are the files and location after the rpm is working
–noclean does not clean up the directories after successful build, so I prefer it automatically.
And please use Code Tags for your Terminal Output, its the Line here in the Editor, the # is Code-Tags, use copy/paste for all such things as Kate or Terminal.
Thanks, I’ve edit my spec file in this way and work, but How can I make a link (.desktop) of this app file in the traditional menu?

I’ve try to insert “Categories=Science;Engineering” in spec file, but I’ve error to compile. Where I can insert this line?
Hi
You need to add some build requires…
update-desktop-files
Then use the macro to create your desktop file in the %install section
%suse_update_desktop_file -c …
In your %files section you would then have;
%{_datadir}/applications/%{name}.desktop
You also need an icon, so if that’s available, it would be in %{_datadir}/pixmaps/some_icon.png else if using a stock on, would need to look at adding hicolor-icon-theme as well to your build requires.
See the links user Sauerland posted as well as;
I’ve tried to add %suse_update_desktop_file in spec file, I’ve tried two examples, but I’ve see same error

but, I’ve problem with icon file, if in %suse_update_desktop_file I write “%{name}-%{version}” and in %files I write %{_datadir}/pixmaps/%{name}-%{version}.png, I see an error, because he don’t copy the icon in pixmaps folder. Why? the icon is in the same forlder of binari file.
Another, I’ve install update-desktop-files, but if I put my RPM file in other opensuse system without update-desktop-files, He make the desktop file?
I’ve solved with the icon file, the final spec file is

but, the last question is How I sing the RPM file? In the rpm compilation I see *No buildservice signing certificate, *How make?
Hi
Since it’s built locally for your use, then shouldn’t be an issue? RPM’s built from binary blobs can’t be distributed on OBS (well you would have to look at getting into non-oss).
Another question., I’ve install update-desktop-files, but if I put my RPM file in other opensuse system without update-desktop-files, He make the desktop file?
Hi
Yes, it’s only a build requirement, the desktop file is now in the rpm you install on another system. If on another system you built from the src rpm, then yes you would need update-desktop-files.
thank you for helping me
