I'm back with another question about rpm spec files. This time I'm trying to compile Vice (the Commodore 64 emulator). Vice actually comes with a vice.spec file in the tarball, but it's out-of-date and doesn't really work any more. The point that I'm stuck at is this: I have managed to get the actual compiling process to work but when I get to the "install" portion I get the following errors: Making install in CBM-II make[3]: Entering directory `/home/frankcox/rpmbuild/BUILD/vice-1.22/data/CBM-II' make[4]: Entering directory `/home/frankcox/rpmbuild/BUILD/vice-1.22/data/CBM-II' make[4]: Nothing to be done for `install-exec-am'. test -z "/usr/local/lib/vice/CBM-II" || mkdir -p -- "/usr/local/lib/vice/CBM-II" mkdir: cannot create directory `/usr/local/lib/vice': Permission denied make[4]: *** [install-cbm2DATA] Error 1 That's one example. There are many other "Permission denied" errors, which is not surprising because I'm not compiling this as root. I have put my very slightly modified vice.spec file that I'm trying to make work at the end of this message. I tried modifying the %define prefix line (third line from the top) in various ways but nothing changed; I still got the same errors. My question is, why can't I create this rpm as a non-root user? I'm afraid that I don't know enough about the structure of a spec file to fix this. %define version 1.22 %define rel 1 %define prefix /usr/ Summary: VICE, the Versatile Commodore Emulator Name: vice Version: %version Release: %rel License: GPL Group: X11/Applications/Emulators Source: ftp://ftp.funet.fi/pub/cbm/crossplatform/emulators/VICE/vice-%{version}.tar.gz URL: http://www.viceteam.org/ Packager: Andreas Boose <viceteam@xxxxxxxxxxx> BuildRoot: /var/tmp/vice-build-root %description VICE is a set of accurate emulators for the Commodore 64, 128, VIC20, PET, Plus4 and CBM-II 8-bit computers, all of which run under the X Window System. %prep %setup -q %build CFLAGS="$RPM_OPT_FLAGS -DNO_REGPARM" ./configure --prefix=%{prefix} --enable-gnomeui make %install rm -rf $RPM_BUILD_ROOT mkdir -p $RPM_BUILD_ROOT%{prefix} make prefix=$RPM_BUILD_ROOT%{prefix} install-strip gzip -9 $RPM_BUILD_ROOT%{prefix}/man/man1/* gzip -9 $RPM_BUILD_ROOT%{prefix}/info/* mkdir -p $RPM_BUILD_ROOT%{_menudir} %clean rm -rf $RPM_BUILD_ROOT %files %doc AUTHORS FEEDBACK INSTALL README %{prefix}/bin/x64 %{prefix}/bin/x128 %{prefix}/bin/xplus4 %{prefix}/bin/xvic %{prefix}/bin/xpet %{prefix}/bin/xcbm2 %{prefix}/bin/c1541 %{prefix}/bin/petcat %{prefix}/bin/vsid %{prefix}/lib/vice/ %{prefix}/man/man1/* %{prefix}/info/vice.info* %{prefix}/share/locale/*/LC_MESSAGES/vice.mo %{prefix}/include/resid/* %changelog * Sun Dec 14 2003 Hoppar Tamas <linux-user@xxxxxxxxxxx> - fixed file filelist (some things missed) - moved prefix to /usr - enabled fullscreen and SDL support -- MELVILLE THEATRE ~ Melville Sask ~ http://www.melvilletheatre.com
