[Doxygen-develop] spec file issues in 1.5.5

[Kenneth P. <sh...@se...>]

I'm trying to build the RPM on CentOS 5.1 and encountered these issues:

The spec file refers to the tarball by the old version, 1.5.4.

The spec file appends a revision ("_1") to the tarball name and main 
directory that's not in fact there.

There should be a buildprereq on the ghostscript package or its binary.

/usr/man/man1/doxywizard.1.gz is missing from %files.

After fixing these I was able to get the package to build and install.

I don't see a rule in the Makefile to convert the .spec.in file to the 
.spec file. The man page issue appears fixed in the .spec.in but the other 
issues appear to still be there.

Hi Kenneth,

The spec file used to be maintained by Kevin McBride.
But he disappeared from the internet without a trace, so it is now  
basically unmaintained.
I'm looking for someone to take over maintenance of this file, or else  
it will be removed altogether.
So if you or anyone else want to take this up, please let me know!

Regards,
    Dimitri

I'll give it a shot. Do you know what Makefile rule is used to create it 
from the .spec.in? I couldn't find anything from a quick inspection of 
1.5.5. Perhaps it was lost in an edit, though, and I need to search back 
over the history.

The configure script makes the .spec file from the .spec.in
It also puts in the version number.

Ok, and it looks like there are two .spec.in files, with and without 
doxywizard, otherwise identical. There's RPM macro syntax to conditionally 
include part of a spec file, so I think those can be merged. I'll look at 
that.

Addressed with attached patch. man page for doxywizard should be installed 
by doxywizard Makefile, not main Makefile.

(Patch generated with "svn diff".)

A more comprehensive patch that eliminates the extra spec file.

BTW, here's some documentation on RPM conditionals:

Thanks, I'll include it in the next subversion update.

In the RPM section of download.html on the website, you could add:

To build your own package from the distribution tarball or from a 
Subversion checkout:

\code
./configure
make rpm
\endcode

or, to add a doxywizard sub-package:

\code
./configure --with-doxywizard
make rpm
\endcode
