Phil, Thanks for the reply. Attached is the RPM spec file I put together. A look at the '%build' section will show you what I needed to do to get this to work for me. I'll copy that section here:
%build # patch configure to look for aprutil-0 instead of aprutil-1 sed s/aprutil-1/aprutil-0/g configure > configure.patch mv configure.patch configure; chmod 777 configure %configure # patch global.h and ignore.c for location of pcre.h sed 's/<pcre.h>/<pcre\/pcre.h>/g' src/global.h > src/global.h.patch sed 's/<pcre.h>/<pcre\/pcre.h>/g' src/ignore.c > src/ignore.c.patch mv src/global.h.patch src/global.h mv src/ignore.c.patch src/ignore.c make I'm afraid I'd be zero help with writing checks for autoconf/configure.in. As for a packager for CentOS stuff, it's hard to say which direction that's headed. Either repoforge or EPEL would be a good choice. The former is more widely used, while the latter seems to be the direction that the fedora project is taking which could dictate the direction the rest of the community takes... http://wiki.centos.org/Repositories/RPMForge http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/EPEL Hope this helps, --BO On 10/6/07, Philipp Marek <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Hello Bjorn! > > On Friday 05 October 2007 Bjorn Oglefjorn wrote: > > I was having a heck of a time building/installing fsvs on CentOS 4.5.
