20:10 < BoChao-Work> ctyler: basically, I need to figure out, how to place these displaced files in the proper directory. I was on google looking for a rpm
                     macro for /usr/local but was unable to find it. Does that mean I need to use %{_prefix}/local ? here is a list of files I need to work
                     on :http://hongkong.proximity.on.ca/bchao/link%20to%20files.txt
20:12 <@ctyler> BoChao-Work: you can use options to "make install" to install those files where you want.
20:12 <@ctyler> adaniel3: oh, I haven't looked recently
20:13 < BoChao-Work> ctyler: in the %install section correct?
20:14 <@ctyler> BoChao-Work: show me a spec file and I can probably comment more intelligently :-)
20:14 <@ctyler> adaniel3: have some time to work on this now?
20:15 < BoChao-Work> ctyler: any spec file or the one i'm working on?
20:15 < BoChao-Work> http://hongkong.proximity.on.ca/bchao/gcc.txt <--mine
20:15 <@ctyler> k
20:21 <@ctyler> BoChao-Work: you want to set "--prefix=..." at the configure step
20:22 < BoChao-Work> ctyler: so like this --prefix=/usr/local/ ?
20:23 <@ctyler> BoChao-Work: well, --prefix=/usr if you want stuff in /usr/bin instead of /usr/local/bin, for example, and /usr/lib instead of /usr/local/lib
20:24 <@ctyler> adaniel3: edit that section, we'll take a look, and then hit the next part
20:24 < adaniel3> ctyler: ok
20:24 <@ctyler> BoChao-Work: or --prefix=/  if you want stuff in /bin and /lib
20:24 <@ctyler> (/usr/bin would be the more normal place for this kind of package)
20:25 <@ctyler> BoChao-Work: you'll see the Fedora spec using --prefix=%{_prefix} for example
20:26 < BoChao-Work> ctyler: ok, but in teh %files section I would still need to delcare the directories and files no?
20:27 <@ctyler> yes
20:28 <@ctyler> BoChao-Work: if you fix up the prefix, the %{_bindir}/* and %{_datadir}/%{name} and so forth will work properly
20:28 <@ctyler> in the %files section
20:29 < BoChao-Work> ctyler: I was looking at my dehydra spec file. Would I need to do the same thing I did in teh %install section http://fpaste.org/GsGc/
20:30 <@ctyler> no
20:30 < BoChao-Work> ok
20:30 <@ctyler> use 'make install' with DESTDIR
20:30 <@ctyler> and use --prefix on the configure
20:31 <@ctyler> the --prefix will configure stuff to end up in /usr/bin instead of /usr/local/bin (or wherever),
20:31 <@ctyler> and the DESTDIR will ensure that stuff gets installed into ${buildroot}/usr/bin instead of the *real* /usr/bin during packaging
20:31 < BoChao-Work> so like this  http://fpaste.org/CRYN/
20:32 <@ctyler> yes, if %{_prefix} is properly defined
20:32 <@ctyler> sec
20:32 < BoChao-Work> minus the %files section
20:32 <@ctyler> $ rpm --eval "%{_prefix}"
20:32 <@ctyler>  /usr
20:32 <@ctyler> ^ so that looks right, should work
20:32 < BoChao-Work> yeah
20:33 <@ctyler> so in %files you'll want ... probably %{_bindir}/* and so forth
20:33 < BoChao-Work> learned a new rpm option today :)
20:33 <@ctyler> yeah?
20:33 <@ctyler> which one?
20:33 < BoChao-Work> --eval "%{_prefix}"
20:33 <@ctyler> yeah, that's cool for debugging
20:34 <@ctyler> rpm --eval "%{buildroot}"
20:34 < BoChao-Work> so that works for all macros?
20:34 <@ctyler> well, all macros defined before it starts evaluating the specfile, yes
20:34 < BoChao-Work> neat
20:35 <@ctyler> so stuff that's defined in the RPM rc's, or in .rpmmacros
20:35 <@ctyler> ~/.rpmmacros rather
