Fedora 23 build failing when packaging

[radekg]

Hello,

I am building Mesos on Fedora 23 and my build is failing at the very, very end, after building the python egg. This happens at the packaging stage. The error is:

Create symlinks for backwards compatibility (e.g. Marathon currently
expects libmesos.so to exist in /usr/local/lib).
cp: cannot stat '../../lib/lib*.so': No such file or directory

I believe the problem resides here: https://github.com/mesosphere/mesos-deb-packaging/blob/master/build_mesos#L236-L242

My toor structure looks like this:

$> ls -la toor/usr/lib
total 0
drwxr-xr-x   4 rad  staff  136 30 Mar 03:38 .
drwxr-xr-x  10 rad  staff  340 30 Mar 03:38 ..

and

I wonder if there is a setting available to make the installation happen to the expected directory or, if this is an issue to look at, what would be the desired way to tackle this? One way would be to check if there is usr/lib64 and if there are *.so file in there, if there are any, copy them to usr/lib. Does that sound reasonable?

I'm up for creating a pr if this would be a reasonable solution.

Thank you in advance.

I have tested this patch: https://github.com/radekg/mesos-toolbox/blob/master/patches/mesos-packaging/b929d6b84bcc080b490a7ee79c0115e82984a648-fedora.patch
with Fedora 22 and Fedora 23. Mesos builds fine. I am now testing Fedora 21. I'd love to hear some feedback.
