i am new to sapdb and i want to create an ebuild for gentoo linux. ebuilds are basically shellscripts which are used to tell the portage package management of gentoo linux where to download the sources of a product, how to compile them and how to install them. trouble is, i cant figure out the last step - how to make an installable version of sapdb from the compiled sources.
i used the following command to compile the devtools and sapdb sources:
--- 8< *schnipp* --- wget <devtools-sources> mkdir tools cd tools tar xvzf ../<devtools-sources> export NOREG=1 ./configure make cd ..
wget <sapdb-sources> tar xvzf <sapdb-sources> python tools/bin/newSapdbSrc.py <version>/SAPDB_ORG . devsapdb cd ../.. mkdir package export PYTHON_INCLUDE=/usr/local/python2.2 export NOQUIET=1 export INSTROOT=`pwd`/package imf -x all --- >8 *schnapp* ---
so far so good, everything gets compiled and the resulting binaries are now in the package directory. now i tried to figure out how to make a working package out of this but with no success so far. i looked into the src.rpm of the suse rpm for sapdb 7.3 but they are applying so many patches so i could not figure out yet what they are exactly doing there.
i also compared the compiled tree with the sapdb 7.4 rpm found on ftp.sap.com. and there are many files this rpm which are not in the compiled package directory - so it seems there is some stuff missing in the source which are probably required to make a installable package out of it.
i've searched for docs on this topic but didnt find anything at all.
so please help me with this and tell me what to do to make this thing work at last.
greetings robin
