Build RPM for DBD-Sybase (for EL7 when using check_mssql_health)

Requirements

• dev tools installed (including rpmbuild and environment for that)
• cpanspec installed
• freedts & freetds-devel installed

yum install -y freetds-devel freetds cpanspec gcc-c++

Build the rpm

Change to your builduser environment with su - builduser Download the latest dbd-sybase sources

wget 'http://search.cpan.org/CPAN/authors/id/M/ME/MEWP/DBD-Sybase-1.16.tar.gz' -nd -P /home/builduser/rpmbuild/SOURCES/

Create the SPEC file

cd ~/rpmbuild
cpanspec SOURCES/DBD-Sybase-1.16.tar.gz

Remove test from spec file if you dont have a runnning sybase database

sed -i '/^%check/d' perl-DBD-Sybase.spec
sed -i '/^make test/d' perl-DBD-Sybase.spec

Build the rpm, just answer all questions with yes

mv perl-DBD-Sybase.spec SPECS/
SYBASE=/usr rpmbuild -ba SPECS/perl-DBD-Sybase.spec

Install the newly created rpm from /home/builduser/rpmbuild/RPMS/x86_64/
