After configuration step I fill macros template manually:
./config.status --file=./macros.test:./macros.in
And @localstatedir@ is substituted with not expanded ${prefix}/var:
%_var ${prefix}/var
If we look at config.status, we see:
1026 S["localstatedir"]="${prefix}/var"
<snip>
1035 S["prefix"]="/build/davidlt/fc18_armv7hl_gcc480/test/tmp/BUILDROOT/ad5e3d2c403c20edd9a562f0ee59097c/opt/cmssw/fc18_armv7hl_gcc480/external/rpm/4.8.0-cms"
macros.in:
27 %_usr @prefix@
28 %_usrsrc %{_usr}/src
29 %_var @localstatedir@
Shouldn't we better have @prefix@/var or %{_usr}/var ? The issue could be if someone passes --localstatedir to ./configure, which when would be working correctly. It does sound like --localstatedir must be used on ./configure to generate ``macros'' file correctly.
To check if I am right, I did configure with --prefix $PREFIX and --localstatedir=$PREFIX/var
``macros'' file was generated correctly.
27 %_usr /build/davidlt/fc18_armv7hl_gcc480/testing3/rpmsw
28 %_usrsrc %{_usr}/src
29 %_var /build/davidlt/fc18_armv7hl_gcc480/testing3/rpmsw/var
Yup, this is an ages old, known flaw in the configure/make process:
building without an explicit --prefix doesn't work correctly. Perhaps I
should finally get around to actually do something about it as this
keeps coming up more and more.
