[SOLVED] rpmbuild does not create lib64 in correct path

Joe72 · 05-13-2011, 03:35 PM

Hi guys,

I am trying to install OpenCV2.2.0 from the sources and to make it easier in the future I want to create a rpm on my OpenSuse 11.2 x86_64 platform. The instructions how to install are in the specfile

The relevant parts of the specfile below:

Code:

---snipp
%prep
%setup
%build
mkdir release
cd release
cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=RELEASE -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=`kde4-config --prefix` -DLIB_INSTALL_DIR:PATH=%{_libdir} -DBUILD_PYTHON_SUPPORT=ON ..

%install
cd release
%makeinstall

%clean
rm -rf $RPM_BUILD_ROOT
---snipp

What happens when I try to run

Code:

rpmbuild -bi OpenCV.spec

is I get the following message

Code:

+ /usr/lib/rpm/brp-lib64-linux
sf@suse.de: if you find problems with this script, drop me a note
/home/oliver/rpmhome/BUILDROOT/OpenCV-2.2.0-1joec2d.x86_64/usr/lib/libopencv_objdetect.so:     file format elf64-x86-64
/home/oliver/rpmhome/BUILDROOT/OpenCV-2.2.0-1joec2d.x86_64/usr/lib/libopencv_objdetect.so: should be in */lib64
error: Bad exit status from /home/oliver/rpmhome/tmp/rpm-tmp.5zQNS9 (%install)

What I understand is the libs are in /usr/lib instead of /usr/lib64 so I spent some time and asked google but just found hints to use the cmake flag LIB_INSTALL_DIR. Unfortunately that is not the solution. Can anyone give me a hint at which point I am going wrong? Thanks

Welcome to LQ.

OpenCV is available from the Packman repo :
# zypper ar -f -n packman-essentials http://packman.inode.at/suse/openSUSE_11.2/Essentials packman-essentials
→ → http://en.opensuse.org/Additional_package_repositories

# zypper in opencv : Will install version 2.2.0
( libopencv2_2-2.2.0-1.pm.12.58.x86_64 , opencv-2.2.0-1.pm.12.58.x86_64 )
... And provide /usr/lib64/libopencv_***

If you want to build a package yourself, the Suse 11.2 SRC.RPM is here
http://packman.iu-bremen.de/suse/11.2/Essentials/src/
http://packman.iu-bremen.de/suse/11.....12.58.src.rpm

P.S. : Suse 11.2 had end of life yesterday : 12 May 2011.

Thanks! I've been reading for a long time, this was just my first post :-). I will take it from there

According to the patches my problem was in the cmakelists.txt. The path to lib was set statically to lib instead of checking the platform. Thanks a lot, I was just surprised that that patch is available for SuSE but on the download site of the project it is not in the sources ???

I know, its time to touch a running system again
