Re: Problem building an gimp-1.1.32 RPM
Henning Sauer [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: today I tried to build a an rpm of gimp-1.1.32 from the source via "rpm -ta gimp-1.1.32.tar.bz2", but it didn't work because in the installation phase it couldn't find the gimp executable in the /usr/bin directory under BuildRoot. Instead the gimp exectuable as well as the plug-ins, modules and libraries where directly installed to /usr. Is their a way to correct this behaviour and build an RPM ? Yes, there is indeed. Someone needs to correct the spec file that is distributed with The GIMP. This file is unmaintained at the moment and I wonder if we should probably remove it from 1.2 if noone takes care of fixing it. Salut, Sven

Everytime I look at .spec files I learn something. The problem is that with Christmas just about here, I may (but may not) have a chance to look at it later today or early tomorrow. If not, I won't be able to look at this until sometime in the afternoon on the 27th of this month at the earliest. I'm tempted to have my name put down as the maintainer of the .spec file as I like building RPMs when needed. I have rolled a few of my own already from source files. I do have a remote site I administer where I could store SRPM and RPM files. Consider my name written down in pencil for now. After Christmas I'll see if it will get written down in ink. Happy holidays to everyone! Cheers! Kevin.

Henning Sauer wrote: Is their a way to correct this behaviour and build an RPM ? I managed to take a quick look in to this. I believe the problem is not with the spec file but with the Makefile's. The 'make install' invoked by the spec file is installing gimp, gimp-tool, gimp-remote, and a sym link for gimp-config in to /usr/bin instead of into the directory specified by the prefix= and PREFIX= arguments passed on the command line to the make program.
