Hi,
I have a minor problem with %makeinstall macro.
On suse it expands to make install DESTDIR=$RPM_BUILD_ROOT
On the other distros it expands to make install bindir=$RPM_BUILD_ROOT/usr/bin infodir=$RPM_BUILD_ROOT/usr/bin ... etc
But it does not set docdir="$RPM_BUILD_ROOT/usr/share/doc..." Therefore make install always fails with something like error: install /usr/share/doc/README, permission denied
My workaround is this of course:
%install # don't use makeinstall macro because missing docdir=... make install DESTDIR=$RPM_BUILD_ROOT
I'd like to use the macro. How should I do it? Or is the missing docdir just a bug?
cu, Rudi
It works on modern distros (last few versions of openSUSE, Fedora, Mandriva), i just redefine %makeinstall in prjconf for any broken distros (CentOS 5.5 is the only one I regularly encounter).
