Re: [hylafax-users] Mainpine IQ Express and CentOS 5.1 installation problems.

["Jason Lewis" <jlewis@xxxxxxxx>]

I have a clean install of 5.1 x86 and have tried following your
procedure. I have made all the moddifications and when I go to build the
kernel I get:

># rpmbuild -ba --target i686 kernel-2.6.spec
>Building target platforms: i686
>Building for target i686
>error: line 3371: Bad arg to %patch -p: %build

here are lines around each of my edits to show the changes in
kernel-2.6.spec:

linux-2.6.9-55.EL-ifax1.patch is in the usr/src/redhat/SOURCES
directory, I confirmed it.

># uname -r
>2.6.18-53.1.6.el5
I downloaded and ran rpm -ivh kernel-2.6.18-53.1.6.el5.src.rpm.

Is there anything that I am missing? Thanks

Jason

Jason,

You'll have to patch the Linux kernel for this card to work.  Here is an
overview of what you should do:

$ yum -y groupinstall "Development Tools"
$ yum -y install unifdef

Install the src rpm for your current kernel.

$ rpm -ivh
http://mirror.centos.org/centos/5/updates/SRPMS/kernel-2.6.18-53.1.4.el5
.src.rpm

$ cd /usr/src/redhat/SOURCES

$ wget
http://people.ifax.com/~aidan/mainpine/linux-2.6.9-55.EL-ifax1.patch

$ cd ../SPECS/

$ vim kernel-2.6.spec

Redefine "dist"

%define dist .el5ifax2

Around line 1607 add:
# mainpine patch - iFAX
Patch99995: linux-2.6.9-55.EL-ifax1.patch

Around line 1956 add:
# mainpine patch - iFAX
%patch99995 -p1

Save and exit.  Build the new kernel.

$ rpmbuild -ba --target i686 kernel-2.6.spec

$ ls -l ../RPMS/i686
