Creating a Binary RPMΒΆ

To create a Binary RPM you will require rights to the sudo command.

Notes

  • When creating RPMs to be distributed outside a company, create the RPM as root.
    When an RPM is created, the userid of the person creating the RPM is the owner of the files in the RPM. Warning messages appear if an RPM is installed on systems that do not recognize the userid associated with the files. Creating the RPM as root avoids getting these warning messages.
  • Non-root users can install the fakeroot package to run the createRPM script found in the Remote Workstation Card Software for Linux package.

  1. From your previously open terminal working from the Downloads directory, set the working directory to kernel/linux/scripts

    cd pcoip_ host_<version>/kernel/linux/scripts/

    Info

    • Additional directories are created when you unpack the source code package.
    • If opening a new terminal window, from the default prompt enter
      cd ~/Downloads/PCoIP_Host_SW_Release/pcoip_ host_<version>/kernel/linux/scripts/

  2. Execute the createRPM script.

    sudo ./createRPM

    Info

    The binary rpm is written to the package/kernel/linux/obj directory.
