Hi, I have not done this for a while, and I was trying to build a small rpm using a previously written .spec file which I had created some time ago and which compiled without incident till F27. The spec file is at: https://paste.fedoraproject.org/paste/UyRdT3LJxQ5cW21SjBeR9w The source is available at: https://code.google.com/archive/p/wbar/downloads So, I get the error: $ rpmbuild -bb wbar.spec warning: Macro expanded in comment on line 11: %{name}-%{version}.tar.bz2 Executing(%prep): /bin/sh -e /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.XYyyfC + umask 022 + cd /home/maitra/rpmbuild/BUILD + cd /home/maitra/rpmbuild/BUILD + rm -rf wbar-2.3.4 + /usr/bin/bzip2 -dc /home/maitra/rpmbuild/SOURCES/wbar-2.3.4.tar.bz2 + /usr/bin/tar -xof - + STATUS=0 + '[' 0 -ne 0 ']' + cd wbar-2.3.4 + /usr/bin/chmod -Rf a+rX,u+w,g-w,o-w . + exit 0 Executing(%build): /bin/sh -e /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.Am2P0X + umask 022 + cd /home/maitra/rpmbuild/BUILD + cd wbar-2.3.4 + autoreconf -if aclocal: warning: couldn't open directory 'm4': No such file or directory src/Makefile.am:18: warning: source file '$(top_srcdir)/src/core/Bar.cc' is in a subdirectory, src/Makefile.am:18: but option 'subdir-objects' is disabled automake: warning: possible forward-incompatibility. automake: At least a source file is in a subdirectory, but the 'subdir-objects' automake: automake option hasn't been enabled.
