I need some help building an rpm from and installed source. I have all
the steps I took to build and install but I need help creating a proper
.spec file. The rpmbuild gets to the point where it validates the files
then fails. Could someone take a look a my .spec file and tell me what
I absolutely need to include and how the %files section should look.
This is an adaptation of the mod_perl-1.26-5 .spec file from RH7.3. I
will remove/modify the lines containing '$RPM_BUILD_ROOT' because I
didn't it. Do I need to include them? I did use it for the 'make
pure_install ...'. I built it in /usr/src/redhat/SOURCES/mod_perl-1.29
This is for use with apache 1.3 becuase I can't use 2.0
%define defperlver 5.8.1
%define perlver %(rpm -q perl --queryformat '%%{version}' 2> /dev/null
|| echo %{defperlver})
%define perlmajor %(echo %{perlver} | cut -f1 -d.)
%define contentdir /var/www

%description
Mod_perl incorporates a Perl interpreter into the Apache web server,
so that the Apache web server can directly execute Perl code.
Mod_perl links the Perl runtime library into the Apache web server and
provides an object-oriented Perl interface for Apache's C language
API. The end result is a quicker CGI script turnaround process, since
no external Perl interpreter has to be started.
Install mod_perl if you're installing the Apache web server and you'd
like for it to directly incorporate a Perl interpreter.
