Building from source for Fedora 32: any tips?

Added by Jason Hecker over 4 years ago

I'm trying to build Tvheadend from source for Fedora 32. I've been trying to follow the instructions at [[https://tvheadend.org/projects/tvheadend/wiki/Packaging]]. I'm getting stuck with the source RPM and spec file, ie where to obtain them and how to modify them. Does anyone have any info on how to get a proper source RPM and spec file, or any tips/tutorials overall for building a Tvheadend RPM from source?

When clone repo there is a RPM folder with needed files
I try lot of time to build RPM for CentOS, all time no success.

You're absolutely right! I should have seen that when I cloned the repo. The instructions on the Packaging page on the wiki are very out of date. Here's what I've done:

### Get the source from the repo
cd ~/git
git clone https://github.com/tvheadend/tvheadend.git
cd ~/git/tvheadend

### Configure
./configure
make  # This step probably not needed
cd ~/git/tvheadend/rpm
make

### Move the spec file into the rpmbuild directory
cp tvheadend.spec ~/rpmbuild/SPECS
### Download the source tar.gz specified in the spec file
cd ~/rpmbuild/SOURCES
wget https://github.com/tvheadend/tvheadend/archive/0f13f5912921321a7061ffde760ec41c32d99e77/tvheadend-0f13f5912921321a7061ffde760ec41c32d99e77.tar.gz

### Build the source rpm
cd ~
rpmbuild -bs rpmbuild/SPECS/tvheadend.spec

### Build the rpm
rpmbuild --rebuild rpmbuild/SRPMS/tvheadend-4.3-1892~g0f13f5912.fc32.src.rpm

However, the build is still failing. It gets quite a way into the build but it runs into a problem with python:

+ /usr/lib/rpm/redhat/brp-mangle-shebangs
*** WARNING: ./usr/share/tvheadend/data/dvb-scan/dvb-t/au-Adelaide is executable but has no shebang, removing executable bit
*** ERROR: ambiguous python shebang in /usr/bin/tv_meta_tmdb.py: #!/usr/bin/env python. Change it to python3 (or python2) explicitly.
*** ERROR: ambiguous python shebang in /usr/bin/tv_meta_tvdb.py: #!/usr/bin/env python. Change it to python3 (or python2) explicitly.
mangling shebang in /usr/bin/tvhmeta from /usr/bin/env python2.7 to #!/usr/bin/python2.7
error: Bad exit status from /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.8ahf9V (%install)

In the spec file I've tried changing PYTHON=python2 to PYTHON=python3 or even just PYTHON=python, but the build still fails. So I'm still stuck.

I can't see anything in configure that would be causing the failure:

Well it tells you exactly what is wrong and even tells you what you need to do to get around it, there's really not much more that can be done.

Problem come with building binary.

I'm not sure what I need to do. I'd be grateful for any insight you could provide.

RE: Building from source for Fedora 32: any tips? - Added by Jason Hecker over 4 years ago

After some trial and error, I've done the following:

Install:

python3-devel

In the spec file, add:

BuildRequires: /usr/bin/pathfix.py
# And at the end of the %prep section:
pathfix.py -pni "%{__python3} %{py3_shbang_opts}" .

Now the build completes successfully, and I'm able to install the RPM. Everything seems to be working as expected, but I don't know if this is the proper way to resolve the issue or just a 'quick and dirty' hack.

In Centos there is no such part

%prep section

P.S.
Isnt more better to use

wget https://github.com/User/repo/archive/master.tar.gz

not a static link?

RE: Building from source for Fedora 32: any tips? - Added by Jason Hecker over 4 years ago

I'm not sure why your spec file doesn't have a %prep section. I've never used CentOS, so I don't know if ./configure generates something differently for it?

As for what to download from git, the spec file generates a dynamic link (see spec file below). However, rpmbuild doesn't seem to download the source automatically, so I download it manually (based on the link in the spec file) and place it in the SOURCES directory before running the build.

Here is the spec file that gets generated after running ./configure and then make (and before I alter it to get around the python issue):

RE: Building from source for Fedora 32: any tips? - Added by Jason Hecker over 4 years ago

If you want to have rpmbuild download the source listed in the spec file automatically, you change the build command to:

rpmbuild --undefine=_disable_source_fetch -bs rpmbuild/SPECS/tvheadend.spec

And if you also want to skip the step of building the source rpm first, you change the command to:

rpmbuild --undefine=_disable_source_fetch -ba rpmbuild/SPECS/tvheadend.spec
