Here's a specfile fix to the build issue documented at http://www.leemhuis.info/files/fedorarpms/misc/Macaulay2.x86_64.log %changelog * Mon Feb 21 2005 Rex Dieter <rexdieter[AT]users.sf.net> 0:0.9.2-14 - x86_64 issues (%%_libdir -> %%_prefix/lib ) - remove desktop_file macro usage
Created attachment 111258 [details] x86_64 specfile patch
Created attachment 111259 [details] x86_64 specfile patch (take 2) patch that actually works this time (previous had an extraneous %endif)
Rex, there is a typo in you patch in the files section (search for "m2hoome") Im also unsure if I like this solution. Especially if we can tolerate this file in /usr/lib/: /usr/lib/Macaulay2-0.9.2/libexec/Macaulay2: ELF 64-bit LSB executable, AMD x86-64, version 1 (SYSV), for GNU/Linux 2.4.0, dynamically linked (uses shared libs), stripped Michael, what do you think?
If Macaulay2 builds for x86_64 and we don't ship an i386 Macaulay2 in the x86_64 Extras repo, there's no need to relocate it further. This package does not provide any 64-bit or 32-bit libraries shared with other 64-bit or 32-bit applications. Since this is an application package and not a library provider, it cannot coexist (as in "parallel installable") with an i386 Macaulay2 anyway. Other x86_64 packages put executables into their home directories below /usr/lib/foo, too, btw. E.g. xcdroast. As a side-note, if one really wanted to, it shouldn't be a problem to move /usr/lib/Macaulay2-0.9.2/libexec to /usr/lib64/Macaulay2-0.9.2/libexec and adjust /usr/bin/M2 accordingly. Is there any other place where the libexec directory is hardcoded?

Thanks for the clarification -- I was unsure on that. Rex, shall I commit the patch to cvs and request a build? Afaik your paperwork for cvs is still in the works?
Yes, yes, respectively (don't know what the cvs holdup is... the last contact I had was March 5th...)
Commited. Will request build tomorrow.
Build was done and succeed yesterday after problems with the buildsystem before. Please close (I can't)
