Hi, I have been trying to create a rpm for gbuffy which I like. However, I am hitting an error in the install directories. The program is at: http://www.fiction.net/blong/programs/gbuffy/ Here is my specfile: # Note that this is NOT a relocatable package %define ver 0.2.6 %define rel 1%{?dist} Summary: multiple mailbox buffy for GTK+ Name: gbuffy Version: %ver Release: %rel License: GPL Group: Applications/Communications Source0: ~/C.libs/linux/%{name}-%{version}.tar.gz Source1: http://www.fiction.net/blong/programs/gbuffy/gbuffy-%{ver}.tar.gz BuildRoot: %{_tmppath}/%{name}-%{version}-%{release}-%(%{__id_u} -n) URL: http://www.fiction.net/blong/programs/gbuffy BuildRequires: libPropList %description GBuffy is a GTK+ multiple mailbox "biff" program. It is conceptually based on XBuffy by Bill Pemberton, but is a complete rewrite from scratch. GBuffy will poll multiple mailboxes for new mail. It will list the number of new messages in each mailbox you configure. It will also highlight the mailboxes which have new mail. GBuffy is currently capable of watching MBOX, MMDF, Maildir and MH Folders. This version also supports IMAP4rev1 and NNTP with XOVER mailboxes. %prep %setup -q %configure %make_build %install %{make_install} %find_lang %{name} %{?ldconfig_scriptlets} %files %defattr(-,root,root,-) %{_bindir}/%{name} %doc README %license GPL %clean rm -rf %{buildroot} So, everything is fine, however I have the following problem: ...... mkdir /home/rpmbuild/BUILDROOT/gbuffy-0.2.6-1.fc35.x86_64 + cd gbuffy-0.2.6 + /usr/bin/make install DESTDIR=/home/rpmbuild/BUILDROOT/gbuffy-0.2.6-1.fc35.x86_64 'INSTALL=/usr/bin/install -p' ./mkinstalldirs /usr/bin make: ./mkinstalldirs: Permission denied make: *** [Makefile:49: install] Error 127 error: Bad exit status from /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.vhOJPC (%install) RPM build errors: Bad exit status from /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.vhOJPC (%install) So, what happens is that there is a mkinstalldirs inside the archive that is triggered. It is supposed to be $(srcdir)/mkinstalldirs however, this is not recognized because I can not seem to be able to pass an srcdir into the configure scrrip. I tried: ./configure --srcdir=${SRCDIR} and many other things, but can not seem to get this right. Any suggestions?
