Hi,

I am trying to build an rpm from cups-1.1.14 Problem is, when I run:

# rpm -ba cups-1.1.14.spec

I get the error:

(...) + exit 0 Executing(%build): /bin/sh -e /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.93156 + umask 022 + cd /usr/src/packages/BUILD + cd cups-1.1.14 + make Makefile:25: Makedefs: No such file or directory make: *** No rule to make target `Makedefs'. Stop. Bad exit status from /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.93156 (%build)

In the /usr/src/packages/BUILD/cups-1.1.14 directory there is only a file Makedefs.in and no plain Makedefs (without any extension).

Usually, the .in is used by configure. It looks like you're never running configure here.

Editing the Makefile and changing Makedefs to Makedefs.in first seems suspicious to me, and second doesn't help either, since when I run rpm -ba, the original tar.gz gets newly unpacked and these changes are overwritten. So if this would be the way, I would have to repack the tar.gz file. Is there something special which has to written to the spec file? I copy the spec file below, for your information. Maybe there are other errors as well, feel free to complain about them:-)
