No 'make install' ?

[artorius]

This question is posted for Zini, or whoever can answer this.

I'm trying to create a Fedora rpm file for openmw. However, it needs a command for 'make install', and when I attempt to build it, I get the...

make: *** No rule to make target 'install'. Stop.

... message.

lgro on IRC said that it should be there, but when I try to compile the source I get the same message.

Could I get a modified makefile so that I can have the 'make install' target?

Thanks!

Makefiles are created automatically by cmake. We don't write them by hand. And make install should work and indeed it does for me. Not sure what your problem is. Did you get any strange messages while running cmake?

[artorius]

Not that I noticed. I'll give it another go and see what cmake says.

Well, this is what I get when I run cmake, I don't see anything odd:

I should also add that I can run cmake, then make just fine and run the game. I just can't seem to get a 'make install' out of it, which I need for building an rpm.

No need to worry about this one. For some reason, a make file will not build on Fedora for this. With the help of some guys over at the Fedora forums, I finally got a fully working proper Fedora RPM built for 0.12.0.

Currently, the rpm installs the openmw.cfg file into /etc/openmw/, so obviously the user would need root privileges to modify the file to point to the Morrowind data location. Is there support yet for openmw to create a .openmw.cfg somewhere in the user's home directory, so that they could modify that?

Once I get that bit squared up, I'd like to discuss doing Fedora builds in the future for this project, if you guys need someone to do that for you.

Thanks!

OpenMW looks for openmw.cfg files in multiple locations. One of them is usually ~/.config/openmw. The settings in these files are merged, with the more user-specific files having a higher priority.

Sure!

The main problem was discussed in PM and not in this thread, that the RPMs built by cmake/cpack on Ubuntu do not work on Fedora (and possibly other RPM distributions) because the libraries/dependencies used are different. In theory, if he runs cpack on Fedora, it should "just work" by using Fedora's libraries.

@artorius: You said that the RPMs I created did not work, can you validate that cpack works(or not) in building a usuable RPM on your machine?

[artorius]

Sure thing, I'll give it a go this evening.

The main thing is that Fedora is pretty strict on using specific build policies on creating RPMs, so I was working over the weekend on getting the build to work within those guidelines.

I see that I do in fact have a ~/.config/openmw/openmw.cfg file, is that created after running omwlauncher?

Yes, for now it only writes the masters/plugins selected in the launcher but 0.13 will also ask the user for the data directory if there's no valid entry present in the config files, and write that to the user config.

[artorius]

Ah, got it.

Do you guys want my Fedora 16 rpm's for 0.12.0 or wait for 0.13.0?
