How to get the %configure macro to run "../configure"?
%global _configure ../configure works on my machine but not the koji builders.
I was trying to do this (for hv3...) and couldn't figure out a way. Mandriva can do it, because its %configure script includes a CONFIGURE_TOP variable:
# This is an improved version of %configure (from PLD team). %configure \ %before_configure ; \ %{?!_disable_libtoolize:%{?__libtoolize_configure:%{__libtoolize_configure};}} \ [ -f $CONFIGURE_TOP/configure.in -o -f $CONFIGURE_TOP/configure.ac ] && \ CONFIGURE_XPATH="--x-includes=%{_prefix}/include --x-libraries=%{_prefix}/%{_lib}" \ $CONFIGURE_TOP/configure %{_target_platform} \\
(etc etc etc)
might be nice to have that in Fedora. Obviously, if CONFIGURE_TOP is not specified it defaults to ./ , and if you want to run a configure from some other dir, you define CONFIGURE_TOP in the spec.
Would it not be more appropriate to do this as a macro? It seems like CONFIGURE_TOP is an environment variable.
rpm/macros: %_configure ./configure %configure \ %{_configure} ...
And then
%define _configure ../configure cd build %configure --enable-other-stuff
in the package.
