[RFE] Building Nagios Server EPEL RPM on CentOS 8.1

[tjyang]

Hi I create this issue to track the progress . Currently CentOS 8 missed doxygen and gperf packages needed for rpmbuild. They were available in CentOS 7.

• Current build issue.

  
  [me@centos8t01 contrib]$ rpmbuild -ba --define "_topdir ${PWD}/rpmbuild"  epel-nagios.spec
  warning: Macro expanded in comment on line 12: %{version}.tar.gz#/nagioscore-nagios-%{version}.tar.gz

error: Failed build dependencies: doxygen is needed by nagios-4.4.5-1.el8.x86_64 gperf is needed by nagios-4.4.5-1.el8.x86_64 [me@centos8t01 contrib]$ pwd /home/muser/github/nagioscore/contrib [me@centos8t01 contrib]$ date Wed Sep 25 19:09:17 CDT 2019 [me@centos8t01 contrib]$

Hi,

Haven't tried, but according to https://pagure.io/epel/issue/89, Doxygen is in CodeReadyBuilder (or Powertools in CentOS-8), you just need to enable it:

$ sudo dnf config-manager --set-enabled PowerTools
$ sudo dnf -y install doxygen doxygen-latex doxygen-doxywizard

@Fr3dY2 , thanks for the pointer.

• what I did to resolve the dependence issue.

$ sudo dnf config-manager --set-enabled PowerTools
$ sudo dnf -y install doxygen doxygen-latex doxygen-doxywizard gperf

• the rpmbuild, epel-Nagios.spec need to be adjusted more to be able to build on a standalone centos 8.1 instance.
