CentOS 5 Build Notes

Build Prerequisites

Using "yum install" or your favorite package manager, the following packages need to be installed:

• freetype-devel
• gcc-c++
• flex
• libX11-devel
• libXft-devel
• libXext-devel
• libXpm-devel
• openssl-devel
• openldap-devel
• aspell-devel
• esound-devel

Build Script

The following script can be used to check out and build Mulberry on CentOS 5.

Create a top-level empty directory to contain the build environment. On my system, I used /home/ken/devel/Mulberry. Place the patches below in this directory and edit the variable in the script to point to this directory.

#!/bin/sh
# Empirically-determined set of commands to build Mulberry from svn
# checkout.
# Run from an empty directory that will be used as the build root

# quit the script if we get an error
set -e

# source of patches
PATCH_DIR=/home/ken/devel/Mulberry

# first check out main trunk
svn co http://svn.mulberrymail.com/mulberry/Mulberry/trunk

# Add svn:externals properties and update
svn propset svn:externals -F ${PATCH_DIR}/svn-externals trunk
svn up trunk

# Apply patches
patch trunk/Makefile-Linux < ${PATCH_DIR}/jxinit-patch.diff
patch trunk/Linux/Make.header < ${PATCH_DIR}/Linux-Make.header-patch.diff

# Add some symlinks to libraries
ln -sf trunk/JX JX
ln -sf trunk/Libraries Libraries
ln -sf trunk/Sources_Common Sources_Common

# Start "official" build
cd trunk
make -f Makefile-Linux jxinit
cd JX
make linux_intel
cd ../Linux
./links.sh
makemake
cd ../Build
make static

Subversion Externals (svn-externals)

The following file supplies a Subversion "externals" property so that a single checkout pulls all required Cyrusoft libraries.

JX      http://svn.mulberrymail.com/mulberry/JX/trunk
Libraries/CICalendar    http://svn.mulberrymail.com/repos/CICalendar/trunk
Libraries/XMLLib        http://svn.mulberrymail.com/repos/XMLLib/trunk

JX Symlink Patch (jxinit-patch.diff)

This patch uses the -f flag when creating symlinks in case they already exist.
