 |
|
I've been trying to build the latest versions of stfl and newsbeuter rpm packages b ut have been failing at the first hurdle which is building the stfl rpm.
I am looking for any help that I can get so have posted the rpmbuild output on pastbin,
http://pastebin.ca/1468604
please have a look maybe someone can see where I've been going wrong. Also take into account that I am a novice at building RPMs so make your replies simply/easy for all of us to learn.
Thanks in advance for any help.

a quick look at the output suggests that DESTDIR is prepending "/var/tmp/stfl-0.20-3-root-%" incorrectly - i.e. output should be going to /usr/share/xsessions instead of /var/tmp/stfl-0.20-3-root-%/usr/share/xsessions, etc. Not having the build script in front of me I'm wondering if DESTDIR can be configured, or if another variable is responsible for the bogus prefix.
BTW - looking through some Fedora-related forums it looks like you're not the only one who's encountered issues building this library. Here is a posting from the linuxquestions.org forum that might be insightful.
Just my two cents.

Thanks for the suggestion but I think the DESTDIR is as you suggest but please have a look at it, I made the RPM for the first version which is on Trac and that built ok, however the spec file is here> http://pastebin.ca/1469147 for the lastest version.

Here's my suggestion - although I don't know if it will make any difference - change line #78 from:
| Code: | | install -d $RPM_BUILD_ROOT%{_datadir}/xsessions |
to
| Code: | | install -d ${RPM_BUILD_ROOT}%{_datadir}/xsessions |
I'll keep looking and might even try a spin for good measure...

sorry that did not work...same error message
Thanks for all the help...see if you can do a spin, newsbeuter is a great application would be cool to do the new version for the next blag.
