Greetings, Anyone willing to help in the creation of %files for my monopod spec file. The project is under home:cseader monopod. Unless anyone has any good docs on how to create your %files that would be great too. I'm still learning this stuff, and any help would be appreciated.

I usually just build it with an empty %files section, and look at the log. At the end you'll see a complete list of files that got installed that were not in the %files section. Don't just copy the list, though. You will want to use %{_lib} for /usr/lib, %{_mandir} for /usr/share/man, %{_includedir} for /usr/share/include, etc. You should look at other spec files to see what other people do. -- James Oakley jfunk@funktronics.ca --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-buildservice+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-buildservice+help@opensuse.org

Yeah, thats what I do, there sure must be a better way of doing this?

For autoconf projects you can look through all the Makefile.am files for installable targets. Perl modules are very predictable, if you've built a lot of them. Python's distutils can save the installed file list to be picked up with %files -f <filename>. You still need to manually add your licensing/documentation files as %doc. -- James Oakley jfunk@funktronics.ca --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-buildservice+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-buildservice+help@opensuse.org
