First, please clarify: The two steps you mention, the "configure" step and "make install", are completely unrelated to %doc. Do you refer to documentation files installed by "make install …" or to using the %doc macro to copy local files to the package's documentation directory? It should be a simple exercise to create a minimal spec file that includes a single %doc line in its %files section to experiment with redefined RPM macros (not limited to "rpmbuild -bb --define "_prefix /opt" test.spec). -- packaging mailing list packaging@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/packaging
