The blank line terminates the %build. Correct? An unfortunate happenstance of RPM is that spec file script sections and macros both start with the % character. The main script sections are: %prep %build %install %check %pre %post %preun %postun (there are some others) Some other sections that aren't scripts are: %files %changelog %package Other words that start with % are macros. That's what these are: %setup %autosetup %configure %make_build %make_install > Where are the macros defined?

I don't think there are any autoconf/autoreconf macros. You just run it directly, e.g: %build autoreconf -iv %configure %make_build Sometimes the upstream source includes a script to do all the right things with autoconf/autoreconf: %build ./autogen.sh %configure %make_build _______________________________________________ devel mailing list -- devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to devel-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Do not reply to spam, report it: https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure/new_issue
