Thanks very much! Ah! So, I don't know if this is the right thing to do, but I added the following in the spec file: ..... %configure %make_build %install $RPM_BUILD_ROOT%{_bindir} chmod +x mkinstalldirs %{make_install} %find_lang %{name} %{?ldconfig_scriptlets} %files %defattr(-,root,root,-) %doc ChangeLog README %{_bindir}/%{name} %license LICENSE %clean rm -rf %{buildroot} However, I still get some errors. here is what I get: .... + exit 0 Executing(%install): /bin/sh -e /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.fOH3ae + umask 022 + cd /home/rpmbuild/BUILD + '[' /home/rpmbuild/BUILDROOT/gbuffy-0.2.6-1.fc35.x86_64 '!=' / ']' + rm -rf /home/rpmbuild/BUILDROOT/gbuffy-0.2.6-1.fc35.x86_64 ++ dirname /home/rpmbuild/BUILDROOT/gbuffy-0.2.6-1.fc35.x86_64 + mkdir -p /home/rpmbuild/BUILDROOT + mkdir /home/rpmbuild/BUILDROOT/gbuffy-0.2.6-1.fc35.x86_64 + cd gbuffy-0.2.6 + /home/rpmbuild/BUILDROOT/gbuffy-0.2.6-1.fc35.x86_64/usr/bin /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.fOH3ae: line 36: /home/rpmbuild/BUILDROOT/gbuffy-0.2.6-1.fc35.x86_64/usr/bin: No such file or directory error: Bad exit status from /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.fOH3ae (%install) RPM build errors: Bad exit status from /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.fOH3ae (%install) Is the $RPM_BUILD_ROOT incorrect? What should it be then?
