Re: [gcmd-usr] Gnome Commander 1.6.4 released

[Ken Taylor]

Yesterday I could not spell RPM. Now I have (almost) built one :-)

After doing some reading it seems that I can produce a gnome-commander
rpm thus:

rpmbuild -ta gnome-commander-1.6.4.tar.xz

However, the rpmbuild process wanted a .bz2 file. Having nothing to
loose I renamed the tarball gnome-commander-1.6.4.tar.bz2.  I tried
again and got a message re. missing packages.

error: Failed build dependencies:
    unique-devel >= 0.9.3 is needed by
gnome-commander-2:1.6.4-1.el7.centos.x86_64
    exiv2-devel >= 0.14 is needed by
gnome-commander-2:1.6.4-1.el7.centos.x86_64
    taglib-devel >= 1.4 is needed by
gnome-commander-2:1.6.4-1.el7.centos.x86_64
    poppler-devel >= 0.18 is needed by
gnome-commander-2:1.6.4-1.el7.centos.x86_64

I recognize unique-devel as something which was fixed I think in 1.6.2
as it was not really needed and it does not exist in RHEL/CentOS 7. I
installed the other dependencies EVEN THOUGH THEY ARE NOT REQUIRED FOR
THE MANUAL BUILD.  I found 2 references to unique-devel in
gnome-commander.spec.  I commented them out.  This time the rpmbuild
process seemed to do a lot more work.  It ended with these messages:

As I am a TOTAL beginner to rpm building I may perhaps show my ignorance
but here are a couple of things which I believe may need to be done....

1 - Remove the unique-devel dependency in the "official"
gnome-commander.spec file.
2 - Also remove the other 3 dependencies  from the .spec file if they
are truly not needed.
3 - As to the missing files, allow me to observe

 - They are present on my CentOS 7.3 machine running gnome-commander
1.6.2 as updated from the nux repository
 - The files are not present on the machine on which I built the
program manually. In fact, /usr/share/gnome-commander does not exist.
gnome-commander seems to work fine
 - I installed the gnome-commander 1.6.2 package from nux-dextop on a
fresh CentOS 7 install. It works fine and the /usr/share/gnome-commander
directory is not present on that machine either.

Perhaps these files need to be removed from wherever they are listed in
the tarball(?)
