Building RPM in LFS 12.2

This git is for the scripts needed to build the dependencies for the RPM Package Manager (RPM) within a LFS 12.2 system. This is ‘Phase Three’ in THE-PLAN.md.

First I am attempting to build RPM 4.18.x as I successfully built that version of RPM on LFS 11.3. However that version of RPM is EOL so once I get it building I will not install it but instead look to see if I can the modern version of RPM to build. I believe they changed the build system to CMake so there will almost be some additional dependencies needed.

Dependency One: UnZip

Justification: Needed to build SQLite 3 (to unpack the documentation). No build dependencies outside of LFS.

• Script: 01-unzip.sh
• Status: Script Works

Dependency Two: SQLite3

Justification: Needed to build RPM itself. Depends upon UnZip for documentation.

• Script: 02-sqlite3.sh
• Status: Script Works

Dependency Three: libgpg-error

Justification: Needed to build libgcrypt. No build dependencies outside of LFS.
