when I run rpmbuild -bb specfile and the configure script fails for any reason (changed options etc) the build fails silently. rpmbuild -bc gives results I would expect - ie: tells me the error This is very confusing
Do you have a reproducer for the problem? I agree very confusing.
Without a reproducer, it is impossible to fix rpmbuild behavior. NEEDINFO
A reproducer please...
