[postgis-devel] Packaging PostGIS 1.4 into custom RPM

[Wilkins, Brian]

Thanks Peter. I looked at the RPM for the PostGIS source and determined that nothing particularly special was going on, so I was able to use DESTDIR but had to move the files out of /opt/postgis/usr and back to the top level. The important part was that PostGIS was still linked to the right GEOS and Proj at /opt/geos and /opt/proj, which I determined by doing a ldd on the postgis-1.4.so file under lib64.

All,

I maintain several different systems and build custom RPMs for our various pieces of software. What is the preferred method to build a custom PostGIS RPM? Since -prefix is broken for PostGIS 1.4.2, can I just use make install -DESTDIR=<my dest dir> and move the files that end up under the subdirectory usr to my top-level destination directory and build a RPM from my destination directory?

Thanks

Brian

Hi Brian,

if you're using PostgreSQL as provided by the distro, http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Enterprise_Linux_GIS or Fedora src.rpm packages might be a good starting point for repackaging.
If your on RHEL/Fedora and need a more current version of PostgreSQL, have a look at the packages at http://yum.postgresql.org/

Regards,

Peter
