[ELGIS] Success building QGIS on SL 6.0

[Micha Silver]

I made a stab at building an rpm for QGIS 1.7 on SL 6, 64 today, and it 
worked!

I based the build on the src rpm for QGIS 1.6 from the elgis repo. Looks 
like all the hard work Mathieu did working out that package is going to 
pay off in the long run... And I downloaded the current qgis-1.7.0 
source tree (from svn - no tarball available yet) and made a tar.gz from 
the whole tree.

Here's what I needed to do:


Dependencies:

--------------------

 From the regular EPEL repo I got:

May 20 22:09:40 Installed: cmake-2.6.4-5.el6.x86_64
May 20 22:11:19 Installed: qwt-5.1.1-4.1.el6.x86_64
May 20 22:11:20 Installed: qwt-devel-5.1.1-4.1.el6.x86_64
May 20 22:11:20 Installed: gsl-1.13-1.el6.x86_64
May 20 22:11:21 Installed: PyQwt-5.2.0-11.el6.x86_64
May 20 22:11:22 Installed: fcgi-2.4.0-10.el6.x86_64
May 20 22:11:23 Installed: fcgi-devel-2.4.0-10.el6.x86_64
May 20 22:11:24 Installed: PyQwt-devel-5.2.0-11.el6.x86_64
May 20 22:11:25 Installed: gsl-devel-1.13-1.el6.x86_64


Then I added qtwebkit and qtwebkit-devel from atrpms. And finally, 
gpsbabel is also a BuildRequires for QGIS. This I downloaded from 
Fedora's koji system. The F12 package (Not the most recent...) version 
1.3.6 installed fine.



Patches:

-----------

I found that one patch, the qgis-sip.patch is already applied in the 
source, so I just removed those Patch lines from the spec file.


Changes to source:

--------------------------

The current source has the qgis-mapserver plugin disabled in the cmake 
parameters. But the spec file expects it to be built. Not having those 
files causes rpmbuild to fail at the checking stage.

So I made a change to the source file /qgis-1.7.0/CMakeLists.txt, on 
line 58. I changed WITH_MAPSERVER FALSE to WITH_MAPSERVER TRUE.


Changes to SPEC:

------------------------

After the build got to the end, I got a list of files that rpmbuild 
found were "built but not installed". So I added a few more changes to 
the %Files section. This included pyspatialite, some libqgis* which were 
missed because they did not have an underscore in the filename, and some 
others. Attached is a full diff between the original (1.6.0) spec and 
the one that worked for me against 1.7.0:



After that rpmbuild ran thru cleanly, the rpms installed, and I now have 
QGIS 1.7 running on SL 6.0.
