Hey all,

First off, let me just get this out of the way: Not looking to get this package into the repo's or even into RPMFusion, I'm just playing around to help myself learn and I had this on hand.

Trying to package Minecraft (which comes as a single Minecraft.jar), a desktop file for minecraft, and an icon file.

Minecraft.jar, minecraft.desktop and minecraft.png are just sitting in my SOURCES directory. When I run: "rpmbuild -ba Minecraft.spec" I get yelled at about:

File not found: /home/egriffith/rpmbuild/BUILDROOT/Minecraft-1.0-1.fc21.x86_64/usr/bin/Minecraft.jar

File not found: /home/egriffith/rpmbuild/BUILDROOT/Minecraft-1.0-1.fc21.x86_64/usr/share/applications/minecraft.desktop

File not found: /home/egriffith/rpmbuild/BUILDROOT/Minecraft-1.0-1.fc21.x86_64/usr/share/icons/hicolor/256x256/apps/minecraft.png

Go check out the BUILDROOT directory and its blank. Fair enough, I didn't tell it to copy or create anything, so I'm not surprised.

I'm assuming that i should be creating the directory structure under %prep, yes? via "mkdir -p" but wouldn't it then get deleted when %install happened? and what would even be the correct command sequence? $RPM_BUILD_ROOT/%{_bindir}/ ? then copy %source0 into said directory?

The spec file is copied below

Any help would be appreciated guys & gals. As I said, I'm just trying to learn and experiment with different things.
