Hello all, and thanks again for the new release! 3.5 compiled without issue on my Mandrake 9.0 dual-Athlon box. However I would like to make a Linux and/or Mandrake binary and/or RPM package for Radiance, but being rather new to Linux in general, don't know where to start. If anyone could point me to a on-line informative resource that discusses such things, could you be so kind as to forward it to me? Or is this even out of the question for a relative newcomer such as myself?
Thanks again,
Jeffrey McGrew
Jeffrey: If you are going to build rpms, I think this would
be great. I
personally
think that one should build rpms for specific distributions,
and I don't
have any
experience in that, but on the long run, it would be great
for new users if
tehy
could simply pick a rpm or deb for their distribution without
worrying about
PATH-settings, compilers and dependencies. I will take a look
at rpm, if you
get
any further with this, please tell me (I have SuSE and Debian
systems here,
as
well as Solaris, having its own package management).
CU, Lars.
I will start by making a RPM for Mandrake Linux, what I'm currently using, if I'm able to figure it out at all :). I think that Mandrake RPM's will work within RedHat too; for Mandrake uses RedHat's package manager. But I'm assuming that, and would want to test it/have it tested prior to 'official' release.
Thanks,
Jeffrey McGrew
