Subject: Odd problem building latest bind package
Hello, I had a problem building package "bind".
I fixed the problem by adding a line to the bind.spec file:
added line 59: %define _initrddir %{_sysconfdir}/rc.d/init.d
I think I know why this fix works, but I want to know why it used to work
without this explicit %define. Where is the definition of the symbol
_initrddir supposed to come from? Arguments to ./configure? Someplace in
the .rpmmacros? I can't find a declaration or definition anywhere! It's
kind of embarrassing...so I am asking the list to help me understand.
This is low priority. My fix works for me. I don't even use BIND! This system
is not a clean Owl-2_0-stable, I have upgraded it from Owl-1_0 in little
steps over the past couple of years, and I have overcome many more serious
problems, all my fault, never Owl's. It is probably an RPM feature that
that I should already know about. I should be able to find out myself if
I keep searching the internet, man pages, source code, etc.
I am using the native.tar.gz from 2006-11-08, from the Owl-2_0-stable branch.
I think I last built the package "bind" OK in July (2006).
I did "make" instead of "make PACKAGE=bind", in case that is relevant. About
8 other packages, including openssh, gzip, texinfo were built OK.
Thanks in advance. Here are a few lines from the (failed) log:
