Building the RPM

Distro support

Tested

• RHEL/CentOS 7 x86_64
• Fedora23, 24 x86_64

Probably it works

• RHEL/CentOS/SL/OL 6 x86_64

  • when you try to build on el6, can use devtoolset-3 and SCL repository
  • devtoolset-3-gcc-c++, devtoolset-3-binutils, python27

• RHEL/CentOS/SL/OL 5 x86_64

  • when you try to build on el5, you can use devtoolset-2 and python27
  • devtoolset-2-gcc-c++, devtoolset-2-binutils
    , python27

Prerequisites:

• Python 2.7
• gcc and g++ 4.8 or newer

Docker (el7, el6, el5)

Docker environment for building nodejs rpm. It will help to build and debug.

Build (el7, el6)

setting up:

$ sudo yum install -y yum-utils rpmdevtools make

git clone and make:

$ git clone https://github.com/kazuhisya/nodejs-rpm.git
# If you want to use other version, You can clone to specify the branch name.
# example: git clone -b v4.x https://github.com/kazuhisya/nodejs-rpm.git
$ cd nodejs-rpm
$ sudo yum-builddep ./nodejs.spec

el7:

$ make rpm

el6 : with Software Collections and Devtoolset

$ scl enable python27 devtoolset-3 'make rpm'

install package:

$ cd ./dist/RPMS/x86_64/
$ sudo yum install ./nodejs-X.X.X-X.el6.x86_64.rpm ./nodejs-npm-X.X.X-X.el6.x86_64.rpm --nogpgcheck

Build (el5)

el5 : with Devtoolset and python27

$ sudo yum install -y epel-release ius-release
$ sudo yum install -y yum-utils rpmdevtools buildsys-macros redhat-rpm-config tar make openssl-devel libstdc++-devel zlib-devel gzip 
$ sudo yum install -y devtoolset-2-gcc-c++ devtoolset-2-binutils python27
$ git clone https://github.com/kazuhisya/nodejs-rpm.git
$ cd nodejs-rpm
$ rpmdev-setuptree
$ curl -OLk https://nodejs.org/dist/vX.X.X/node-vX.X.X.tar.gz
$ cp *.patch ~/rpmbuild/SOURCES/ ; cp *.md ~/rpmbuild/SOURCES/ ; cp *.tar.gz ~/rpmbuild/SOURCES/ 
$ scl enable devtoolset-2 'rpmbuild -ba ./nodejs.spec'
