Hi, I am trying to build an rpm from cups-1.1.14 Problem is, when I run: # rpm -ba cups-1.1.14.spec I get the error: (...) + exit 0 Executing(%build): /bin/sh -e /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.93156 + umask 022 + cd /usr/src/packages/BUILD + cd cups-1.1.14 + make Makefile:25: Makedefs: No such file or directory make: *** No rule to make target `Makedefs'. Stop. Bad exit status from /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.93156 (%build) In the /usr/src/packages/BUILD/cups-1.1.14 directory there is only a file Makedefs.in and no plain Makedefs (without any extension). In the Makefile there is: (...) # Voice: (301) 373-9603 # EMail: cups-info@cups.org # WWW: http://www.cups.org # include Makedefs # # Directories to make... # (...) Editing the Makefile and changing Makedefs to Makedefs.in first seems suspicious to me, and second doesn't help either, since when I run rpm -ba, the original tar.gz gets newly unpacked and these changes are overwritten. So if this would be the way, I would have to repack the tar.gz file. Is there something special which has to written to the spec file? I copy the spec file below, for your information. Maybe there are other errors as well, feel free to complain about them:-) Cheers and TiA ...
