You need to make it install into the "buildroot" (a confusing name -- it's where the _package_ is assembled from generated files, not where the code is built). Many modern makefiles support this easily -- use the macro "%makeinstall" in the spec file where you would use 'make install'. However, a lot don't, and require a bit of patching. -- Matthew Miller mattdm@xxxxxxxxxx <http://www.mattdm.org/> Boston University Linux ------> <http://linux.bu.edu/>
