I see how this can work. I had envisioned something like having %prep 0 and %prep 1, %build 0 and %build 1 sections, etc.. but I think this will do the job just as well. I can have rpmbuild extract Baz's source tree into its own subdir inside Bar's source tree, and then do './configure; make; cd; ./configure; make' in the %build section of the spec file. It'll take some experiementation to see exactly what happens to the CWD between sections of the spec file, but this certainly gets me on the right track. > HTH, It did indeed. Thanks again. By the way.. having looked at a bunch of SRPMs in trying to figure this out, it's become clear that Maximum RPM is less than complete in its documentation of what can go into a spec file. For example, I've noted the absense of docs for the %configure, %make and %makeinstall macros ... is there an authoritative reference of available headers, scriptlets, macros and directives for RPM spec files somewhere? The docs included on my system by the rpm RPM are more of a changelog, and there doesn't appear to be another reference on www.rpm.org -- Matt Pounsett CIRA - Canadian Internet Registration Authority Technical Support Programmer 350 Sparks Street, Suite 1110 matt.pounsett@xxxxxxx Ottawa, Ontario, Canada 613.237.5335 ext. 231 http://www.cira.ca _______________________________________________ Rpm-list mailing list Rpm-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/rpm-list
