<PRE>Le vendredi 14 janvier 2011 &#224; 00:18 -0500, Hoyt Duff a &#233;crit :
&gt;<i> The .spec file as provided defines %define _prefix as /usr/local. Yes,
</I>&gt;<i> I know that it should be /usr for a Mandriva-specific package, but I'd
</I>&gt;<i> like to actually build the package first so I can understand what
</I>&gt;<i> needs to be patched to build from the pristine sources on
</I>&gt;<i> Madriva/Mageia, not start from scratch - that kind of defeats the
</I>&gt;<i> purpose of RPM.
</I>&gt;<i> 
</I>&gt;<i> In the %files section &quot;%{_libdir}/%{name}&quot; should pick up &quot;%_prefix&quot;,
</I>&gt;<i> but it does not. As a result, some files don't get created in two
</I>&gt;<i> directories and the build fails.
</I>&gt;<i> 
</I>&gt;<i> What I'm asking is if there is a difference in how Mandrake handles
</I>&gt;<i> that substitution versus how Fedora handles that. I installed Fedora
</I>&gt;<i> in a VM and the package builds fine on Fedora, but I get the error on
</I>&gt;<i> Madriva. I've examined the .spec file and don't see where there is any
</I>&gt;<i> obvious problem, so I'm seeking some guidance as to where to look
</I>&gt;<i> deeper.
</I>
That's quite simple.
On fedora :
~ $ rpm --showrc | grep -i ' _libdir'
-14: _libdir	%{_prefix}/lib

On mandriva :
$ rpm --showrc | grep -i ' _libdir'  
-14: _libdir	/usr/lib

Mandriva hardcode the use of /usr/ in the rpm macros file, while Fedora
doesn't, letting people override %_prefix.
