hi, i'm just fed up with this situation and try to debug this %mingw_cmake macros and find out why not working. since i can NOT find any kind of docs about rpm's macros! anybody know?? what and how %* works? what is the %{nil} good for? so what i find from /usr/lib/rpm/macros: --------------------------- # The configure macro should be invoked as %configure (rather than %{configure}) # because the rest of the arguments will be expanded using %*. --------------------------- now i find the in /etc/rpm/macros.mingw %mingw_cmake before the %mingw32_cmake call %* still contains the command line params. but since %{mingw32_cmake} %* called this way in stead of %mingw32_cmake %* the mingw32_cmake macro do not get the command line parameters. that's why it's not possible to give the params further. but if i rewrite the above two line than rpm macro deduction will fail (i don't know why). i try many different way tricks and trucks but none of them working. anybody has any tip or anybody can help? regards. -- Levente "Si vis pacem para bellum!" -- packaging mailing list packaging@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/packaging
