Re: [MiNT] rpmbuild for sparemint?

WHat are you trying to do exactly?

In order to build an actual RPM, you are suppose to go from start to 
finish.

You can do tests by doing:

rpm --short-ciruit -bc netsurf.spec

That should only do the compile phase, if I have the command right.

rpm --short-ciruit -bi netsurf.spec

And that would only do the install phase.

Otherwise, you need to work magic, like tarring up the built spirce tree 
and dropping it in place of the true source, commenting out the configure 
statements in the spec, and doing the tue build that way, just swapping in 
the real src code ater the decompress has started, and then at some point 
swapping in a correct .spec file with the proper commands it in.

Thats the only way I know how to 'cheat' rpm.  Basically it is forcng you 
to make sure everything works by doing an end to end build, but with the 
malloc issue, that causes headaches.

Any of this make sense?
