Modules for perl-5.6.0

News:

Notes:

My basic procedure for building each of these modules is pretty simple. First, I had to prepare perl for the module-building process.

  1. apply this patch
  2. build and install the Archive::Tar module (by hand, not as an rpm)
  3. build and install the Compress::Zlib module (by hand, not as an rpm)
Then, for each module:
  1. prepare the SPEC file
    Ordinarily, I just edit one of the existing spec files I've created. However, if it's a package I've never built before, then I use a modified version of JWEID's makerpm.pl script. Read more about it here. Makerpm.pl works better if the Archive::Tar and Compress::Zlib perl modules are installed.
    cd <RPM-SOURCEDIR>
makerpm.pl --specs --source=<package>-<version>.tar.gz
  2. build the module (sometimes this works best if the Archive::Tar and Compress::Zlib modules are installed.) 
    cd <RPM-SPECDIR>
rpm -ba <specfile>
  3. test the module 
    cd <RPM-BUILDIR>/<package>-<version>
make test

Of course, there are sometimes exceptions to this procedure; see the notes below

Original Build Recipe

modules.diff patch available here

apply modules.diff patch to personal copy

cd /usr/local/src/redhat/SPECS
edit SPECS files

rpm -ba Data-ShowTable3.3.spec
---> do not run test; it's broken on every architecture
     rpm -ivh ../RPMS/i386/perl-XXXXXX-cygwin1.1.i386.rpm

rpm -ba String-CRC32-1.2.spec
---> cd ../BUILD/String-CRC32-1.2
	  make test --> passed
	  cd ../SPECS
     install: rpm -ivh ../RPMS/i386/perl-XXXXXX-cygwin1.1.i386.rpm

rpm -ba String-CRC-1.0.spec
---> passed test, install

rpm -ba DBI-1.13.spec

---> install

rpm -ba Parse-Yapp-1.01.spec
---> passed test, install

rpm -ba HTML-Parser-3.06.spec
---> passed test, install

*************************
At this point, I ran into a problem with cygwin--
gzip -dc foo.tar.gz | tar xf -
stopped working, and that constuct is used extensively
in the makerpm.pl procedure.
So, I build the Compress:Zlib and Archive:Tar modules,
which allowed me to skip the system("gzip....| tar...")
command
*************************

rpm -ba Digest-MD5-2.09.spec
---> the file SHA1/fip180-1.gif was corrupt, so I removed it from
     the source I used to build this package; this means that 
	  it does not appear in the SRPM, either.
     passed test, install

rpm -ba DelimMatch-1.04.spec
---> passed test, install

rpm -ba DateManip-5.37.spec
---> passed test, installed.

rpm -ba XML-Parser-2.27.spec
---> passed test, installed.

rpm -ba libnet-1.0701.spec
---> failed some tests, installed anyway
     (the ftp tests that failed required anonymous ftp *write* access)

rpm -ba libwww-perl-5.47
---> passed tests, installed

rpm -ba libxml-perl-0.07
---> failed a few tests, installed anyway
Failed Test  Status Wstat Total Fail  Failed  List of failed

Failed 6/36 test scripts, 83.33% okay. 23/196 subtests failed, 88.27% okay.

*******************************
Finally, dtdparse worked. It's not a real module, just a bunch of .pl files,
but it passed its own tests.
