SPE Runtime Management Library Version 1.2 (deprecated)

The libspe 1.x is the old library interface that was established on top of the spufs low-level programming model and that is being deprecated. The IBM SDK provides a migration guide to help you move existing applications to the new standardization of the SPE Runtime Management Library (libspe2).

To rebuild the libspe rpms you can install the source rpm and run the rpm_build.sh script:

                  rpm -ivh libspe-1.2.2-0.src.rpm
                  rpm_build.sh --none --libspe

or if you prefer to do it manually you have to:

  1. Copy the libspe-1.2.2.tar.gz tarball to /usr/redhat/SOURCES
  2. Copy the libspe.spec file to /usr/redhat/SPECS
  3. Move to /usr/redhat/SPECS directory and type:
         rpmbuild -ba libspe.spec --target ppc
         rpmbuild -ba libspe.spec --target ppc64
