[opensuse-buildservice] RPM Macro %cmake_kde4
Hi, The "%cmake_kde4" RPM macro doesn't accept arbitrary arguments? I need in "kmidimon" (OBS project "home:plcl:kde4") a boolean option "STATIC_ASEQMM" controlling if the libaseqmm library is built and statically linked to kmidimon, or the shared library is used instead. So my first guess was to do something like this in kmidimon.spec: %build %cmake_kde4 -DSTATIC_ASEQMM=NO But the above syntax fails. Looks like the macro doesn't accept arguments other than "-d builddir". By the way, I don't understand why is needed the option "-d" for out of source builds in RPM specs. Out of source is convenient for a developer, or to hand building a program, but RPM already provides a disposable building environment, so building out of source is redundant, IMO. BTW2. Is there an upstream repository for the macros.kde4 file?

%cmake_kde4 -- -DSTATIC_ASEQMM=NO did the trick. This should be documented somewhere. I've added a note at: http://en.opensuse.org/index.php?title=Packaging/SUSE_Macros/KDE4_Macro
But the above syntax fails. Looks like the macro doesn't accept arguments other than "-d builddir".

%cmake_kde4 -- <args> . I think that is the normal way to pass arbitrary arguments to any rpm macro.

Some KDE packages do not build in-source, IIRC.

The kde4-filesystem OBS package is the original source of macros.kde4 . -- Lubos Lunak openSUSE Boosters team, KDE developer l.lunak@suse.cz , l.lunak@kde.org -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-buildservice+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-buildservice+help@opensuse.org

%configure --enable-something works fine, as Pavol Rusnak commented in [Bug 567350] http://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=567350

It never happened to me, but you may be right. Anyway, if this is a workaround for a few packages, there is no need to "strongly recommend" its usage: http://en.opensuse.org/index.php?title=Packaging/SUSE_Macros/KDE4_Macros
