Hi guys! NHC builds like any other GNU Autotools-based package: ./autogen.sh <configure-args> && make dist
That's all you need to do to generate the correct tarball. From there, rpmbuild -ta is one option. I use Mezzanine tools, so I just run mzbuild. So whenever I go to build new RPMs for the production teams, all I have to do is "./autogen.sh && make dist && mzbuild"[1], or the (mostly) equivalent "./autogen.sh && make dist && rpmbuild -ta lbnl-nhc-1.5.tar.gz", either of which spits out the RPM and SRPM for me. Hope this helps! Michael 1: Technically, this is a lie. What I actually run is this: "./autogen.sh && make distcheck && zbuild" The "check" part ensures that everything is set up correctly for out-of-tree builds, cross compiling, etc. But that's something only I really need to worry about. The zbuild command is actually from yet another project; it allows me to build for multiple distributions at once by leveraging containers. But again, not something the average person would care about. -- Michael E.

Due to Michael's recommendation I wanted to try out the 'dev' branch version 1.5 of NHC and build an RPM package referred to by Michael. Since I'm not a software developer, I had to figure out for myself the detailed building steps - perhaps trivial to some of you, and stumbling blocks to others. This is what I came up with: $ git clone https://github.com/mej/nhc.git<https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://github.com/mej/nhc.git__;!!Bt8fGhp8LhKGRg!Eyq9zb9zvoBb5gvwaNtYh349GtBEk3URU13HkwJtgMOAtzseCrup2js9G-aijV5f2Er5oJkEvwXkn7lZWN1YpmOU$> $ cd nhc $ git switch dev # Switch to the 'dev' branch $ git status # Check the status $ grep nhc_version configure.ac<https://urldefense.com/v3/__http://configure.ac__;!!Bt8fGhp8LhKGRg!Eyq9zb9zvoBb5gvwaNtYh349GtBEk3URU13HkwJtgMOAtzseCrup2js9G-aijV5f2Er5oJkEvwXkn7lZWOzoPssU$> # Verify the 'dev' version m4_define([nhc_version], [1.5]) $ ./autogen.sh<https://urldefense.com/v3/__http://autogen.sh__;!!Bt8fGhp8LhKGRg!Eyq9zb9zvoBb5gvwaNtYh349GtBEk3URU13HkwJtgMOAtzseCrup2js9G-aijV5f2Er5oJkEvwXkn7lZWNNdMUg3$> # Undocumented build requirement $ cd .. $ mv nhc lbnl-nhc-1.5 # Rename the source folder $ tar czf lbnl-nhc-1.5.tar.gz lbnl-nhc-1.5 $ rpmbuild -ta lbnl-nhc-1.5.tar.gz The resulting RPM package is: ~/rpmbuild/RPMS/noarch/lbnl-nhc-1.5-0.82.gf8dc.el8.noarch.rpm I've added those steps to my Slurm Wiki page: https://eur01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwiki.fysik.dtu.dk%2FNiflheim_system%2FSlurm_configuration%2F%23node-health-check&data=05%7C02%7Cf.otto%40ucl.ac.uk%7C8865ec39af3241be6a7908dde16ed054%7C1faf88fea9984c5b93c9210a11d9a5c2%7C0%7C0%7C638914588236979158%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJFbXB0eU1hcGkiOnRydWUsIlYiOiIwLjAuMDAwMCIsIlAiOiJXaW4zMiIsIkFOIjoiTWFpbCIsIldUIjoyfQ%3D%3D%7C0%7C%7C%7C&sdata=bX%2FuNDPVHjspnWZ3c%2FA4CpW61xRHCfS8OmrdDkOG0CQ%3D&reserved=0<https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://wiki.fysik.dtu.dk/Niflheim_system/Slurm_configuration/*node-health-check__;Iw!!Bt8fGhp8LhKGRg!Eyq9zb9zvoBb5gvwaNtYh349GtBEk3URU13HkwJtgMOAtzseCrup2js9G-aijV5f2Er5oJkEvwXkn7lZWEotkh1J$> Any comments?
