Compiling Fedora Srpm On CentOS

I tried installing fedora grpc srpm on CentOS and ran into following error when installing srpm. I understand fedora makes use of more recent versions of openssl, glibc etc but why should this happen when installing source rpm?

Any pointers/articles on how to go about building fedora srpms on CentOS?
Any way out other than building directly using sources?

rpm -i grpc-1.17.1-3.fc30.i686.rpm warning: grpc-1.17.1-3.fc30.i686.rpm: Header V3 RSA/SHA256 Signature, key ID cfc659b9: NOKEY

  • The issue is that you’re not installing a source RPM…rather, you’re installing a 32bit binary RPM.

    rpm -i grpc-1.17.1-3.fc30.i686.rpm

    Source RPMs’ filenames end in srpm and 64bit binary RPMs end in x86_64.rpm…you’ll want to double check the RPM that you’re trying to install, make sure that you truly want to utilize a source RPM and that if you’re running a 64bit system, you install a 64bit RPM.

    Additionally, if you use “yum localinstall” to install the RPM, binary or source, it will work to install the prerequisite RPMs for you.

    Final thought…by and large, its not customary to install a source RPM
    but to run it through rpmbuild to build it, specifically, for your system.

  • Because that isn’t the source rpm, it’s the 32-bit binary rpm. You will need the package name that ends .src.rpm

    Building RPMs on CentOS is covered here:

    https://wiki.CentOS.org/HowTos/RebuildSRPM

    It doesn’t really matter which system the SRPM comes from, your success at building it will depend on whether the requirements for the build can be satisfied on your system.
