I know I'll get flamed for this, but how about using checkinstall ? It will build an RPM for you. As I have seen mentioned on this list several times, you don't have all the options as a regular RPM build, but it works. I'm sitting back on SUSE 8.2 (10.0 due in tomorrow, yay !) and use the ./configure, make and checkinstall to keep up with security issues. On Tuesday 08 November 2005 20:43, Moby wrote:
Has anyone been able to successfully build GAIM from the source RPM for SuSE 10? Installing the source RPM and performing a rpmbuild -ba gaim.spec fails with errors as shown below:
