When I try to compile the src rpm on my RH 8.0 system, I get
checking for a good enough C++ compiler... g++
checking for c++... g++
checking whether the C++ compiler (g++ -O2 -march=i386 -mcpu=i686 ) works... no
configure: error: installation or configuration problem: C++ compiler cannot create
executables.
error: Bad exit status from /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.84097 (%build)
A few questions/remarks on the spec file:
1)
Instead of
%{_datadir}/texmf/tex/latex/%{name}
in the files section, should not lyx be installed under
%{_datadir}/texmf.local/tex/latex/%{name}
More generally, should not the rpm get the TEXMFLOCAL variable from
the tex environment with something like
kpsewhich --expand-var='$TEXMFLOCAL'
and similarly (in case needed)
kpsewhich --expand-var='$TEXMFMAIN'
2)
I think one should use the -q flag to setup, so that we do not
see the unpacked files:
%setup -q
3)
Is reLyX still needed? It seems there is a builtin tex import in LyX
(which works pretty well).
4)
Why is the line
gzip -f9 ${RPM_BUILD_ROOT}%{_mandir}/man?/*
Does not RH automatically gzips the man pages?
5)
More generally: would not there be a possibility to use the
%_configure, %_make, etc macros?
