Here's an example of my spec attached. But the last part was guessed by observing the "make install" process. What if I do not want to observe it? Is there an automated way of knowing which directories it's going to be installed and what files would be present. Is there some ready-made perl scripts that can grab such informartion and modify my spec files? Thanks. Cheers, Didier.
