Heh. It was not my intent to imply that you should try that, but it's
good proof for those who don't understand ASCII-fizierte deutsche
Zitatzeichen. My intent was to say: "Pay no attention to the commas;
they're most likely an artifact of the localized message from ln, not
a bug in ln's implementation. Look elsewhere."
Looking at your original set of error messages, the problem is likely
something to do with the way the Makefile (or Makefile.in or
Makefile.am) is written:
--------------------
test -z "/usr/share/xfce4/doc/it" || mkdir -p -- "/home/andyrtr/daten/rpm-build/tmp/xffm-root/usr/share/xfce4/doc/it"
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
/usr/bin/install -c -m 644 'xffm.html' '/home/andyrtr/daten/rpm-build/tmp/xffm-root/usr/share/xfce4/doc/it/xffm.html'
[...]
( cd /usr/share/xffm; \
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
rm -f doc; ln -s ../xfce4/doc doc; \
)
ln: Erzeugen der symbolischen Verknüpfung ,,doc" zu ,,../xfce4/doc": Permission denied
--------------------
Note the parts which i have underlined with carets ('^') above. Those
directories are in your actual filesystem, not in the RPM package's
build root. For example, '/usr/share/xffm' should probably be
'/home/andyrtr/daten/rpm-build/tmp/xffm/root/usr/share/xffm'.
Find the spot in the Makefile bzw. Makefile.in bzw. Makefile.am where
the "test -z ..." and "( cd ..." lines appear and change them to use the
proper directory. Make a patch and apply it at the proper point in your
specfile.
Alternatively, you may be able to modify the '%makeinstall' line in your
specfile to set Makefile variables to the proper values. For example,
if a line similar to the following appears in the Makefile:
XFFM_DATA_DIR = /usr/share/xffm
then you make be able to do the following in your specfile:
%makeinstall XFFM_DATA_DIR="${RPM_BUILD_ROOT}/usr/share/xffm"
That way, you won't have to modify a Makefile an generate a patch---or,
worse, modify a Makefile.am, generate a patch, and run the right
versions of automake, autoconf, etc. in the right order. There are more
complex ways to do that, but it'll give a you a start in the right
direction.
Viel glück!
