SRPM / RPM distribution creation

[Lothar Behrens]

Hi,

Isn't there anyone struggling with a similar problem packaging shared
libraries of wxWidgets into
their own software package, not doing that by hand ?

I don't like to provide this only, but let them the option to do so.

If I compile my application with static libraries, the stuff
automatically would be included and the
user don't need to package the libraries manually.

I want do this with shared library version regardles of how the
wxWidgets libraries are built in a SRPM
so every user can create a RPM containing all required wxWidgets stuff
without manually modifying
the files that create it.

An idea would be extending wx-config to print out the shared library
files one per line. Then I would get
all the files required to repackage for that build.

This way I don't need to grab the information from the result of wx-
config --libs.

You, the developer team know, what libraries would be installed by a
'make install'. Reporting this via a,
say, 'wx-config --libraries-used' repeating the copy commands and also
the ln -s commands would be
helpful.

I hope to get the discussion started with someone :-)

Thanks,

Lothar
