How to provide an rpm package for Mageia/Fedora/openSUSE
MMEX v0.9.9.0 is now officially released, and its source code is also available on the MMEX Downloads Web page. That makes me wanna maintain a binary rpm package for the Mageia distro. How can I provide the package for the development team? And is there anything I should notice? Thanks.

Thanks for the quick reply. I'd like to know that when I get the rpm package ready, should I upload it as an attachment with a new reply or by other ways?

Re: How to provide an rpm package for Mageia
MMEX v0.9.9.0 RPM i586-32bit package for Mageia 2 is attached below. Note that its file extension ".zip" is appended on purpose because the forum doesn't accept a ".rpm" attachment. Please remove ".zip" first before checking it. Upon its installation, the system will also install the following two RPMs:
- libwxgtku2.8_0-2.8.12-9.mga2.i586.rpm
- wxgtk2.8-2.8.12-9.mga2.i586.rpm

Re: How to provide an rpm package for Mageia
Sorry, but I don't understand what you mean by "Failed to obtain authentication." Currently, my package only works (i.e., installs and runs) on Mageia 2 i586 system.
I've tried it on Mageia 1. It installed fine but didn't run. The error message from Konsole:
mmex: relocation error: mmex: symbol _Z23wxHandleFatalExceptionsb, version WXU_2.8 not defined in file libwx_baseu-2.8.so.0 with link time reference
I've also tried it on Fedora 17 i686 Live KDE and Desktop (GNOME) today. For Live KDE, there was an "Installing unsigned software" warning dialog popping up while installation, but I could proceed by answering "Yes."
However, it aborted with a fatal error upon running:
For Live Desktop, the package installed fine, but aborted with the same fatal error upon running:
It seems that all the runtime errors are related to incompatible libraries between my system for building the RPM package and the actual systems for running MMEX.

Re: How to provide an rpm package for Mageia
After doing lots of investigations, I've realized that there exist version incompatibility problems with the wxgtk/libpng/... libraries across rpm-based distros, e.g., Fedora, openSUSE, and Mageia. Some are due to different configure options used, e.g., whether wxgtk should be compatible with its version 2.4 or 2.6; some are due to that old version libraries are not installed by default or no longer provided for some new distro versions, e.g., libpng 1.2. Therefore, I've decided to build some rpms against wxgtk static libraries (as noted in INSTALL.txt for mmex) for some main distro versions. Here are the results for openSUSE and Mageia (Due to maximum attachment number is 3, I'll attachment the Fedora rpms in the next reply.):
- For openSUSE 11.4 / 12.1:
- For Mageia 1:
- For Mageia 2:
