Install FreeImage on CentOS/RHEL 5

January 16th, 2009 — Linux

FreeImage is not yet available as RPM on CentOS/RHEL, so we’ll create one.

Before installing required libraries by FreeImage, configure yum to use Dag’s repositories, see this post how it can be done.

Learn how to setup your account to build RPMS as non-privileged user:
http://www.cherpec.com/2009/01/build-rpms-as-simple-user/

[root@lynx ~] yum install libjpeg-devel libpng-devel libtiff-devel libmng-devel openexr-devel zlib-devel
 
[...]

Next, download the following files from FreeImage’s website and put them in your SOURCES directory:

And download freeimage.spec and place it in the SPECS directory.

Now, you are ready to build FreeImage, switch to SPECS directory and build FreeImage package:

[joe@lynx SPECS]$ rpmbuild -ba freeimage.spec
 
[...]
 
+ umask 022
+ cd /home/joe/rpmbuild/BUILD
+ cd FreeImage
+ DOCDIR=/home/joe/rpmbuild/tmp/freeimage-3.11.0-buildroot/usr/share/doc/freeimage-3.11.0
+ export DOCDIR
+ rm -rf /home/joe/rpmbuild/tmp/freeimage-3.11.0-buildroot/usr/share/doc/freeimage-3.11.0
+ /bin/mkdir -p /home/joe/rpmbuild/tmp/freeimage-3.11.0-buildroot/usr/share/doc/freeimage-3.11.0
+ cp -pr FreeImage3110.pdf /home/joe/rpmbuild/tmp/freeimage-3.11.0-buildroot/usr/share/doc/freeimage-3.11.0

Build RPMs as simple user

January 16th, 2009 — Linux

It’s not recommended to build your RPMS as root. You can build them as simple user, to accomplish this, you need to create a file called .rpmmacros in your home directory (we’ll assume that your user name is joe and your home directory is /home/joe):

# ~/.rpmmacros
%_topdir /home/joe/rpmbuild
%_tmppath %{_topdir}/tmp

Then create required directories:

[joe@lynx ~]$ mkdir -p ~/rpmbuild/{BUILD,RPMS/{noarch,i386,i586,i686,x86_64},SOURCES,SPECS,SRPMS,tmp}

You are ready to build your RPMS as simple user.
