build ok on rhel 4

Example of use on netperf (simple example)

As an example of how easy (or not :-) Project-Builder is to use, I decide to write that tutorial as a gift for another project which deserves it, the NetPerf project .

You first have to create a .pbrc configuration file in your home directory, which will setup things globally:

$ cat > ~/.pbrc << EOF
#
# Root of the temp file used to store info on the project
# Is also used to determine the root directory of the project
# No default option allowed here as they need to be all different
#
pbrc netperf = $ENV{'HOME'}/netperf/src
EOF

Should be obvious for the content. Note that the format is in general

pb-keyword project = value

which means that here I named my project for netperf for Project-Builder (I can choose what I want but need to be consistent everywhere).

Then get the bits of the project you want to package. It could be using a SVN or CVS access if there is such a thing, or by downloading (at worse) the tar file of the project. Then extract that under a newly created directory that you referenced in your project configuration file:

$ cd /tmp
$ wget ftp://ftp.netperf.org/netperf/netperf-2.4.4.tar.bz2
$ mkdir -p $HOME/netperf/src
$ cd $HOME/netperf/src
$ umask 022
$ tar xvfj /tmp/netperf-2.4.4.tar.bz2
$ rm -f /tmp/netperf-2.4.4.tar.bz2

The netperf project is a nice project using a simple environment to build itself. It uses the GNU autoconf/autmake/litool mechanism, which makes it easy to package with pb.

You will now need to get the latest and greatest project-builder software from our ftp repository. Of course we provide lots of packages for your distribution ;-) Or a tar.gz file if you prefer. Once available, you can use the newproj option of pb to create the infrastructure that is mandatory for pb. It is mandatory that there is a corespondance between the directory mentioned in $HOME/.pbrc and the -r option:

$ pb -p netperf -r `pwd` newproj
Creating /users/bruno/netperf/src/pbconf directory

Do not to forget to commit the pbconf directory in your CMS if needed
After having renamed the pkg1 directory to your package's name

Project: netperf
Action: newproj

Explore then the pbconf directory to familiarize yourself with some of the config file. the next one we want to edit, is the main configuration file which will be used as the central piece of information for pb.

Edit it and adapt it. After edition, here is the resulting file:

$ ls -R pbconf
pbconf:

I skip the parameters begining with vm and ssh for the moment. I inform pb that I will produce packages with a version-tag of 2.4.4-1, that no local package should have a different version than the project version (pkgver/pkgtag), that my default package will be netperf (pb will work on it by default all the time) and that no additional packages will be produced. In addition to standard version with numbers, pb will accept the version devel. And finally, I give to pb the name of all files (per package) that it will have to filter to produce the packages - more on that later on. Once this is done, you may already try to see if pb can make something useful for you. Check the result of:

$ pb -p netperf -r `pwd` cms2build
Project: netperf
Action: cms2build
Packages: netperf

Ok we tried to make a build file from ou Configuration Management System (CMS) which didn't work completely as our structure is incomplete. However, pb already recognized the project name, action, package to build, type of CMS (flat), used our -r option to create the intermediate delivery directory where all the final files|packages will be created.

So now, in order to be more useful, we need to create the structure for our package. Luckily, pb did most of the work for us, by creating a template pkg1 directory and files under pbconf. Rename them to netperf (name of our package) and explore and adapt its content:

$ find . -name pkg1'*'
./pbconf/pkg1
./pbconf/pkg1/rpm/pkg1.spec
./pbconf/pkg1/deb/pkg1.dirs
./pbconf/pkg1/deb/pkg1.docs
$ mv ./pbconf/pkg1 ./pbconf/netperf
$ mv ./pbconf/netperf/rpm/pkg1.spec ./pbconf/netperf/rpm/netperf.spec
$ mv ./pbconf/netperf/deb/pkg1.dirs ./pbconf/netperf/deb/netperf.dirs
$ mv ./pbconf/netperf/deb/pkg1.docs ./pbconf/netperf/deb/netperf.docs

Now this is done, it's time to look at those and adapt them. At the begining, we try to make RPM packages.

That spec file looks normal except that it uses a lot of PBSOMETHING keywords. Those are Project-Builder macros that will be instantiate depending on the distribution during the cms2build step.

So now that we have the base for our spec file, we need to look at those filters:

$ vi pbconf/pbfilter/all.pbf
[Modifications here]
$ cat pbconf/pbfilter/all.pbf
#
# $Id$
#
# Filter for all files
#
# PBSRC is replaced by the source package format

# PBVER is replaced by the version ($pbver in code)
filter PBVER = $pbver

# PBDATE is replaced by the date ($pbdate in code)
filter PBDATE = $pbdate

# PBLOG is replaced by the changelog if value is yes
filter PBLOG = yes

# PBTAG is replaced by the tag ($pbtag in code)
filter PBTAG = $pbtag

# PBREV is replaced by the revision ($pbrev in code)
filter PBREV = $pbrev

# PBPKG is replaced by the package name ($pbpkg in code)
filter PBPKG = $pbpkg

# PBPACKAGER is replaced by the packager name ($pbpackager in code)
filter PBPACKAGER = $pbpackager

# PBDESC contains the description of the package
filter PBDESC = "netperf is a network benchmarking tool"

# PBURL contains the URL of the Web site of the project
filter PBURL = http://www.netperf.org

We can now try again to use pb to create our build file:

$ pb -p netperf -r `pwd` cms2build

Action: cms2build

Much better. You have now your first useful result from pb :-) Congrats ! Well wait ! It's not really useful because we started exactly from a tar file. Well it's not exactly the same tar file. This one adds Project-Builder support:

As you can see a lot of directories and files have been created under pbconf. They correspond to all the required build files for all the distributions supported and will later be used to really create the packages.

So now, we can try to go to the next step and build a package. So issue:

So it seems we are not there yet ;-) But it's not too bad for just having renamed a couple of files and parameters in our conf files. Now we need to solve those issues and produce the package.

The first problem we've met, is that the build process seems to need automake and autoconf. However, when build separately with the classical ./configure ; make it doesn't ask for it.

Project-Builder provide a means when exporting the software to build a coherent automake/autoconf setup by the way of the pbinit script.

Create now such a script for your project:

$ cat > pbconf/netperf/pbinit << EOF
#!/bin/bash
aclocal
autoconf
automake
EOF
$ chmod 755 pbconf/netperf/pbinit

Then it seems that the PBSUF macro isn't expanded correctly. Look for it using a Project-Builder tool:

$ pbg PBSUF
./pbconf/pbfilter/rpm.pbf:# PBSUF is replaced by the package name ($pbpkg in code)
./pbconf/pbfilter/rpm.pbf:#filter PBSUF = $pbsuf
./pbconf/netperf/rpm/netperf.spec:Release:        PBTAGPBSUF

So indeed that macro is used in our spec file, but is only declared for rpm types of build in the rpm filter file. However it's currently commented. So edit that file to validate it, as well as the other variables needed:

$ cat ./pbconf/pbfilter/rpm.pbf
#
# $Id$
#
# Filter for rpm build
#

# PBGRP is replaced by the RPM group of apps
# Cf: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/RPMGroups
filter PBGRP = Applications/Network

# PBDEP is replaced by the list of dependencies
# filter PBDEP =

# PBSUF is replaced by the package name ($pbpkg in code)
filter PBSUF = $pbsuf

# PBOBS is replaced by the Obsolete line
#filter PBOBS =

And our final current problem is the list of files produced by the build process that need to be referenced in our %files session. So modify that section of the spec file to read like this:

%files
%defattr(-,root,root)
%doc ChangeLog
%doc INSTALL COPYING README AUTHORS NEWS
%doc README.* Release_Notes doc/examples
%{_bindir}/*
%{_mandir}/*/*
%{_infodir}/*

Now you're ready for your second run !

$ pb -p netperf -r `pwd` cms2pkg

So we still have an issue with the Group used and the changelog which is empty. Also some modes are wrong and our NEWS file is empty. Again Project-Builder can will with those issues. You'll have for that to create a new file under pbconf/netperf called pbcl which will be the changelog file for your project:

$ cp netperf-2.4.4/Release_Notes pbconf/netperf/pbcl
$ vi pbconf/netperf/pbcl
[... format modifications ...]

NETPERF CHANGES

2.4.4 (2007-11-16)
-  The LOC_CPU and REM_CPU tests will report their respective beliefs
   as to the number of CPUs present when the verbosity is set to more
   than one.  This can be used when trying to diagnose issues with CPU
   utilization.
-  A kind soul who wishes to remain anonymous provided a patch to
   enable use of sendfile() on OSX.
-  Fix a misplaced \n in a format string of send_tcp_maerts, courtesy
   of Alexander Duyck.
-  There is an experimental global -r option which will allow one to
   include CPU utilization measurements, but make the decision about
   hitting confidence based on the result only.  The test banner will
   reflects this when -r is used.
-  It is no longer necessary to specify a file with the global -F
   option when running a _SENDFILE test.  Netperf will create a
   temporary file and populate it with random data and use that.  If
$
EOF

The format of the pbcl file is strict. It has 4 initital lines that you can use the way you want, the the 5th line should have 'Version (date)' wwith date using ISO format, then the following lines are the changelog content of that version. Then after a blank line, again a 'Version (date)' and the changelog, etc...

I also decide to remove the useless files in the distribution, and replace them with those that Project-Builder will generate from the pbcl file we just created from Release_Notes:

$ rm netperf-2.4.4/ChangeLog netperf-2.4.4/NEWS

Ready to check again:

$ 

So we now have a much more correct rpm built, even if not everything is solve. The beauty of Project-Builder will now appear, as it's as easy to generate more RPMs for other distributions than it is for your native distribution.

Imagine you want to build the same RPMs for the just issued Fedora 8, instead of your native distribution. First download the ISO image of your distribution and put it where you have space on your disk. Then call pb to help you create a new virtual machine for that distribution:

$ pb -p netperf -r `pwd` -m fedora_8 -i ~/Download/Fedora-8-i386-DVD.iso newvm
Project: nerperf
Action: newvm
Creating the QEMU VM... Formating '/users/qemu/fedora_8.qemu', fmt=qcow2, size=5242880 kB
OK
Launching the VM /users/qemu/fedora_8.qemu... OK
Waiting for VM fedora_8 to come up...

Then the Virtual Machine is launched booting on your CD, and the rest is just a classical installation of a Linux distribution. Once your distribution is installed, stop the VM and relaunch it to finish the setup with:

$ pb -p netperf -r `pwd` -m fedora_8 launchvm
Project: netperf
Action: launchvm
Launching the VM /users/qemu/fedora_8.qemu... OK
Waiting for VM fedora_8 to come up...           

I especially disable firewall and SElinux on the VM. At the end of this initial setup phase log as root on your new VM installation. Check that your update mechanism for yum is correct. Allow your local account (the one running the pb commands) to have access through ssh to the VM, and activate ssh if it's not already done:

# mkdir .ssh
# scp bruno@victoria2.home.musique-ancienne.org:.ssh/id_dsa.pub .ssh//authorized_keys

So now you can finish to set up the VM by installing and configuring all what is necessary for pb to work flawlessly. There is a contributed script in Project-Builder that may help you greatly realizing that (Cf: http://trac.project-builder.org/browser/devel/pb/contrib/pbsetupqemu and its launcher http://trac.project-builder.org/browser/devel/pb/contrib/updateqemu). Try launching:

Project Builder didn't find in our tar file what is necessary to build an RPM on Fedora 8. This is because our configuration file doesn't indicate that we want to build on fedora 8 (of course it's a new VM). So fix your config file by adapting your vmlist entry to include also Fedora 8:

vmlist netperf = mandrake_10.1,mandrake_10.2,mandriva_2006.0,mandriva_2007.0,mandriva_2007.1,mandriva_2008.0,redhat_7.3,redhat_9,fedora_4,fedora_5,fedora_6,fedora_7,fedora_8,rhel_3,rhel_4,rhel_5,suse_10.0,suse_10.1,suse_10.2,suse_10.3,sles_9,sles_10,gentoo_nover,debian_3.1,debian_4.0,ubuntu_6.06,ubuntu_7.04,ubuntu_7.10

and then relaunch the build, starting from the CMS:

So we're not lucky as the application doesn't build natively on Fedora 8 due to the lack of some defines. So we can try with another existing VM to see if we are more lucky, after stoping our running VM:
