cernlib-SL7
Memo in building cernlib on SL7(CentOS7) from EPEL6 cernlib-2006-35.el6.src.rpm
1. Assuinig OS is SL7 (or CentOS7)
# cat /etc/redhat-release Scientific Linux release 7.9 (Nitrogen)
2. Obtain cernlib-2006-35.el6.src.rpm from Fedora epel6 rep. and try rpmbuild
# mkdir rpm; cd rpm # wget https://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/6/SRPMS/Packages/c/cernlib-2006-35.el6.src.rpm or # wget https://ftp.riken.jp/Linux/fedora-archive/fedora/epel/6/SRPMS/Packages/c/cernlib-2006-35.el6.src.rpm # rpmbuild --rebuild cernlib-2006-35.el6.src.rpm
will result
error: Failed build dependencies: lapack-devel is needed by cernlib-2006-35.el7.x86_64 blas-devel is needed by cernlib-2006-35.el7.x86_64 imake is needed by cernlib-2006-35.el7.x86_64 xbae-devel is needed by cernlib-2006-35.el7.x86_64
3. Install needed dependencies
# yum install epel-release # yum install lapack-devel blas-devel imake xbae-devel
Then, try rpmbuild again
# rpmbuild --rebuild cernlib-2006-35.el6.src.rpm
After 25 minutes, process exam1 enters into infinite loop at the test of (G E A N T Version 3.2114, RUN 1);
Abort rpmbuild by CTRL-C .
4. Enter into the SPECS directory (cd ../rpmbuild/SPECS) and edit/modify cernlib.spec file to remove geant321 from test_dirs
# diff cernlib.spec cernlib.spec.org 1190c1190 < test_dirs='graflib mclibs kernlib mathlib packlib phtools' --- > test_dirs='graflib mclibs kernlib mathlib packlib phtools geant321'
5. rpmbuild again with the corrected spec. file
# rpmbuild -ba cernlib.spec
Build completes in 20 minutes.

NB. Since geant321 has problem in exam1(test), it is suggested not to install geant321-2006-35.el7.x86_64.rpm. Newer version geant4 is available now.
