Yes, +I know that it should be /usr for a Mandriva-specific package, but I'd +like to actually build the package first so I can understand what +needs to be patched to build from the pristine sources on +Madriva/Mageia, not start from scratch - that kind of defeats the +purpose of RPM. + +In the %files section "%{_libdir}/%{name}" should pick up "%_prefix", +but it does not. As a result, some files don't get created in two +directories and the build fails. + +What I'm asking is if there is a difference in how Mandrake handles +that substitution versus how Fedora handles that. I installed Fedora +in a VM and the package builds fine on Fedora, but I get the error on +Madriva. I've examined the .spec file and don't see where there is any +obvious problem, so I'm seeking some guidance as to where to look +deeper. + +While I can find lots of (mostly useless) info on RPM building through +Google, I'm not sure where to look for any Mandriva docs for that, so +a suggestion for that would be welcome as well. + +On 1/13/11, Remy CLOUARD <<A HREF="https://www.mageia.org/mailman/listinfo/mageia-discuss">shikamaru at mandriva.org</A>> wrote: +><i> On Thu, Jan 13, 2011 at 09:41:46AM +0200, P.
