Re: gEDA: Problems with compiling gaf (addendum)

Hi again,

I was able to download the mandrake *.src.rpm files of ftp.sunet.se at
home (this afternoon it failed from my work for no obvious reason ? ).

I extracted the *.spec files and they are in the attached tarball.

There is a construct in the "%install" section like (geda-gschem.spec): 

<quote>
%install
MY_DIR=$RPM_BUILD_ROOT%_datadir/gEDA
%makeinstall GETDATADIR=$MY_DIR GEDARCDIR=$MY_DIR rcdatadir=$MY_DIR
scmdatadir=$MY_DIR
install -d $RPM_BUILD_ROOT%{_datadir}/gEDA/examples
install -m 644 examples/*.sch $RPM_BUILD_ROOT%{_datadir}/gEDA/examples

%clean
</quote>

Ales mentioned something about this in a previous posting to the list
(maybe I should pay better attention ;-).
