I don't know if this is a bug, or it's me doing
something wrong, but here it is:

I've tried to build rpms from libgphoto2-2.1.3.tar.gz.
I have issued the command:

rpmbuild -ta libghoto2-2.1.3.tar.gz

The building of the rpms started nice, but...
When it's close to finish, %install exits with a nasty
error. Here's a copy from stdout, as well as from the
rpm-temp directory:

I use Red Hat 9 (GLIBC_2.3, kernel 2.4.20-20.9,
gcc-3.2.2) distribution. Please let me know if there is
a library I need to install, or some changes I need to
perform in the spec file in order to successfully build
the rpms.

Sincerely,

Ferdi Badescu.

can build it with usual methods ?(./configure; make)

It works OK if it's build in a regular way:

./configure
make

I have attached the output of the ./configure command
(configure-params.txt). One interesting thing:
If I issued the command [./configure], I get the usual
standard output. However, issuing the comand

./configure > configure-params.txt

I get the file configure-params.txt, plus a message on the
stdout, like this:

./configure: line 13303: ABOUT-NLS: command not found
./configure: line 14407: ABOUT-NLS: command not found.

I've managed to get this to work, although parts of it are a
bit of a hack and should probably be looked at closer:

1. do a "./configure" in the top-level directory.

2. comment out the %find_lang %{name} line in the spec file
(packaging/rpm/package.spec). This seems to create a list
of all of the localization files for inclusion in the
package. I don't think this is needed as the files get
included regardless.

3. Add the man pages to the devel package file list:
Change the line "egrep '(-config|\.h|\.la|\.a|\.pc)$' \&quot; to
"egrep '(-config|\.h|\.la|\.a|\.pc|\.3)$' \&quot;. This is in
the same spec file (line 124, I think). If you don't do
this, rpmbuild will complain about there being some files
that are not included in the file list.

4. If building on Redhat 9, create the file "~/.rpmmacros"
and add a line: "%debug_package %(nil)". This is needed to
prevent rpm from building a debug package on RH9. I'm not
sure what this means, but it won't work without it.

5. Build it with "make rpm".

rpms build differently everywhere.
if you have problems you need to adapt the .spec file to your
needs.
