Hi guys,
I am trying to build amarok rpm package(binary) for fedora 5. After reading a few website about packaging software with rpm, i come up with a sepc file(attached).
When i build the package with rpmbuild, I have the amarok built and installed but the rpm package is not built!!

Code: Select all

rpmbuild -ba amarok.spec

Do i miss anything in the specfile to make all the binary files packaged into a rpm file?
Hope to recive some suggestions

Do it the easy way, pull up the terminal.

1. type su -
2 . enter your root password
3. yum -y install amarok

or

Download it from pbone.net and pull up the terminal

1. type su -
2. enter your root password
3. yum localinstall

The first way is the easiest though.

amarok rpm shipped with fedora 5 has many dependencies and although install them all, amarok still can't play mp3 and wma. I built libxine.rpm and now i am building amarok.rpm so that it only depends on libxine(although it still need kdelib but less dependencies). I want a clean, low level of dependencies rpm to install on >10 machines.
Hope anyone can help correct my spec file

The reason why it doesn't work is because it doesn't have an engine that can decode mp3.

That would fix the problem, I'd imagine it's the exact same with your amarok package as well since mp3 is OSS
