I take that back. It *does* work. Thanks. What *doesn't* work is this: %makeinstall DESTDIR=$RPM_BUILD_ROOT That doesn't work because "%makeinstall" explicitly sets bindir, libdir, etc. rather than using--and effectively mooting any application of--DESTDIR. Is there some good reason %makeinstall does that instead of just using DESTDIR? -- Braden McDaniel e-mail: <braden@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> <http://endoframe.com> Jabber: <braden@xxxxxxxxxx> _______________________________________________ Rpm-list mailing list Rpm-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/rpm-list
