We build the gimp-perl plugin from the CPAN sources and disable it in
the GIMP distribution because it makes too much problems there especially
on recent SPARCs, alphas and ia64. We don't use the BuildRoot features
of RPM however because it has some issues with Perl which Marco also
found.... :)
The important section from the gimp-perl package looks like this:
%build
CFLAGS="-DGIMP_ENABLE_COMPAT_CRUFT" perl Makefile.PL
make
%install
eval `perl -V:installarchlib`
rm -f $installarchlib/perllocal.pod
make install
install -d /var/adm/perl-modules
mv $installarchlib/perllocal.pod /var/adm/perl-modules/gimpperl
%{?suse_check}
whereas the necessary BuildRoot stuff from the MIME-Base64 Perl package
looks like this:
%build
perl Makefile.PL
make
%install
rm -rf $RPM_BUILD_ROOT
eval `perl -V:installarchlib`
install -d $RPM_BUILD_ROOT/$installarchlib
make PREFIX=$RPM_BUILD_ROOT/usr \
INSTALLMAN1DIR=$RPM_BUILD_ROOT/%{_mandir}/man1 \
INSTALLMAN3DIR=$RPM_BUILD_ROOT/%{_mandir}/man3 \
install
install -d $RPM_BUILD_ROOT/var/adm/perl-modules
mv $RPM_BUILD_ROOT/$installarchlib/perllocal.pod $RPM_BUILD_ROOT/var/adm/perl-mo
cd $RPM_BUILD_ROOT/usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.*/*-linux/auto/MIME/Base64
cat .packlist | sed s:$RPM_BUILD_ROOT:: | sort -u > .packlist.n
mv .packlist.n .packlist
cd $RPM_BUILD_ROOT/var/adm/perl-modules/
cat MIME-Base64 | sed s:$RPM_BUILD_ROOT:: > MIME-Base64.n
mv MIME-Base64.n MIME-Base64
Using PREFIX for installation doesn't seem to work for all packages,
though...
