Re: gEDA: Problems with compiling gaf

[Bert Timmerman <bert.timmerman@xs4all.nl>]

Hi Wojciech and all,

I saw on http://www.rpmfind.net in the science/other group that someone
has made some RPMs of the gaf tarballs for the mandrake distro.
Unfortunately I was not able to download the *.src.rpm files, for they
contain *.spec files which might contain clues ;-)

Maybe there is a workaround for the # 1) problem.
It might be possible to add some lines in the spec files which move
("mv") the files to the proper $RPM_BUILD _ROOT/usr/share/gEDA
directory.
I don't know in which section of the spec file, I think in the
"%install" just after "make install prefix=$RPM_BUILD_ROOT/usr" and
before the "%clean" section.

Just my EUR 0.01  ;-)

Kind regards,

Bert Timmerman.
