Please, find attached the patch for lyx.spec file used for building
RPMs. I have introduced two new macros at the top which enable the
creation of new RPM with a different frontend by simply changing their
definition. For example, to build xforms frontend (since the original
spec file used Qt frontend), one just needs to redefine:
%define frontend xforms
%define frontdep libforms >= 1.0
The rest of the spec file stays untouched and everything works great!
I've built xforms and qt rpms without a problem.
I had to enforce the consistent use of macros to achieve this though.
I urge you to accept the patch -- it will make rpm builder's life
much easier.
One thing I have in my personal lyx.spec file that I didn't put here is
the creation of lyx.desktop file, which creates a menu entry for both
Gnome and KDE. It resides in %{_sysconfdir}/X11/applnk/Applications.
However, I didn't know whether other Linux distributions use the same
place to store .desktop files (on Red Hat it is /etc/X11/applnk), so I
left it out. If you think it can be useful I can send the patch for
that too.
Best regards,
