I'm trying to update OGRE in the games project (https://build.opensuse.org/package/show?package=ogre&project=games) to the latest version but in the process of updating the .spec file for some reason the %prefix variable isn't being substituted.

I call (in %prep but maybe it should be in %build) CMake with something like:

cmake .. -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=%prefix

which I would expect to get turned in to:

cmake .. -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr

but it doesn't as can be seen at https://build.opensuse.org/package/rawlog?arch=x86_64&package=ogre&project=games&repository=openSUSE_11.2 (search for "CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX").

Now, I assume this is caused by something I'm doing wrong but I can;t work out what it is. Can anyone be of any help?

Darix helped me out on IRC and pointed out that %prefix should not be used but rather %_prefix. It does indeed fix the problem but it's strange that using %prefix has worked for me in the past and I still use it extensively in %files sections. I guess I'll be converting all those to use %_prefix instead now.
