Libzypp/BuildingZypp2

From openSUSE

Build instructions for zypp2 (openSUSE 10.2 and before)

Prepare autoconf/automake

cd to the libzypp directory and run

make -f Makefile.cvs

You might need a couple of packages, like doxygen, graphviz, boost, boost-devel, gettext-devel, dejagnu, zlib-devel, libxml2-devel, libicu, popt-devel, rpm-devel, glib2-devel, dbus-1-glib, dbus-1-devel, hal-devel, readline-devel, curl-devel, e2fsprogs-devel, libidn-devel, openssl-devel.

Compiling the source

Thats easy

make

You might install colorgcc for colorful output or icecream for speedier development

If you get errors like

Error: Layout was not done.  Missing layout plugins?

run dot -c as root, e.g. sudo dot -c (if you have sudo configured)

Testing the result

ZYPP uses dejagnu for automated tests. All tests are below the testsuite directory and can be run by

make check
