Can you not just use yum or whatever tools Red Hat provides? Can you
document what you had to do?

Yes, agreed - we should use the system libraries where possible as a
first choice, and
supply instructions for getting the required packages for those who
havnt already got
them. For OSes that do not distribute these libraries, we should provide
precompiled
binaries where possible, or at least some instructions on where to go
get them.

I would like to be more helpful if we can. Yesterday, I added the
details of the required packages for Fedora Core 5. Hopefully others
will help get the instructions up dated for distributions they use.
Otherwise, I will try to add instructions for recent SLES and RHEL in
the next week or so.

I'll get my better half to start making more room in the fridge while I
go through the list of distros at:
http://lwn.net/Distributions/
I reckon I should get at least a six-pack just out of the embedded
section alone. ;-)

In time I expect we'll do the same for others like MacOS X, Aix, etc.

This sounds very much like a configure script.
Check for installed libraries, fail if something is missing. I like it :)
On Linux however all libraries are present in distributions (I buy you a beer
if you name a single Linux distribution which doesn't include necessary
development packages, knoppix not counted). Only Windows distribution doesn't
include them, so for convenience windows binaries may be cached for download
on harmony site.

I see that you already said pretty much the same thing I did on another
thread [1].
IMHO we should make sure that if the fetch-depends target finds it
cannot sym
link to preinstalled system libraries, then the user is clearly informed
so they have
the choice to install them without having the archived file versions
unpacked. So
perhaps the fetch-depends step should still fail with a message saying
something like
"Could not resolve these dependencies, either build/install these
packages manually
or you can run this other target to have the archived versions unpacked
into your
dependency tree". (Hopefully a little clearer than that ;) )

Can we provide archives of these dependencies in our svn (or wherever) as
a fallback if fetch-depends cannot find them installed on the local system?
Dont we do something like that on Windows at the moment?

Hi, Alexey:
No I do not installed the developer versions of these rpms, but I have
made it work...mm after struggling.... The same rpm has different
configurations due to different providers. For examples, those from rpmfind
and those redhat iteself provides.
So I recommend Harmony to provide such required files if possbile.

Hi, Mark:
First I downloaded and installed the rpms for openpkg, png, jpeg, tiff,
lcms because of the dependency relationship between them.
Secondly, the installed files are in /openpkg, so I then copy the .a
and .h files to /usr/lib and /usr/include.
If I can find the .a or .h file, I can add them to the /usr/lib and
/usr/include directories. But how can I find them if I do not use rpm?
Redhat itself does not provide the function to download required file from
a software center as unbuntu does.
I will try yum, thank you for your advice.
