RPM for RHEL/CentOS 7

Post by AliceWonder »

This isn't tested very well yet (it did successfully get the blockchain) but:

http://awel.domblogger.net/7/crypto/

I've got a namecoin RPM there for RHEL/CentOS 7

It differs from the build that is by Peter Conrad in that it does not use a static ECC OpenSSL but instead dynamic links against ECC OpenSSL in /opt (using rpath)

I think that's better for dealing with updates to OpenSSL

Right now it only builds the daemon but building the GUI won't be too hard, I just want to test the daemon first.

Just thought I'd share if there is any interest. Same src.rpm *should* build for Fedora 19/20 (using the packages at http://www.ringingliberty.com/bitcoin/ for dependencies) but I don't run Fedora currently and probably won't again for awhile as CentOS 7 is modern enough for me and much much more stable.

Cool. Actually, I recently modified my Fedora-20 build to use the system openssl libraries, since Fedora-20 apparently ships openssl with ecc algorithms (but not all curves, so a small patch is needed).

I don't use CentOS/RHEL myself, so I can't tell if the same is possible for RHEL/CentOS 7. My RHEL-7 build is broken anyway because for some reason it doesn't find db_cxx.h - using the same dependencies like CentOS 7. Dunno if that's an OBS problem or if RHEL really is different there.
