Building xapian-bindings-php under Fedora Core 10

Fedora Core includes packages for Xapian, an Open Source Search Engine Library. Due to a licensing problem Fedora Core doesn't include the PHP bindings for Xapian. Regardless of licensing spats I need to use Xapian from PHP so worked out a patch for the spec file (below) and the steps needed to build the missing xapian-bindings-php RPM:


# rpm building dependencies
sudo yum -y install rpmbuild rpmdevtools autoconf automake libtool zlib-devel gcc-g++
# set up the RPM build tree (and macro file ~/.rpmmacros)
rpmdev-setuptree
# dependencies for building xapian-bindings
sudo yum -y install xapian-core-devel python python-devel ruby ruby-devel php php-devel
# download source RPM
yumdownloader --source xapian-bindings-python
# install source file
rpm -ivh xapian-bindings-*
# copy the patch below to rpmbuild/SPECS/xapian-bindings.spec.diff
# patch the spec file
patch --dry-run -p0 -d rpmbuild/SPECS/ -i xapian-bindings.spec.diff && \
patch -p0 -d rpmbuild/SPECS/ -i xapian-bindings.spec.diff
# build all packages from the installed RPM spec file
rpmbuild -ba rpmbuild/SPECS/xapian-bindings.spec
# RPMs for your platform will be output to rpmbuild/RPMS/


I needed to do this to build a xapian-bindings-php RPM, which required patching of the spec file:
