Description of problem: There are strange commands at the end of %prep-section of the spec-file (kontrol-panel.spec): .... %endif # Workaround for legacy auto* tools [ -x /usr/bin/autoconf-2.5? ] && ln -s /usr/bin/autoconf-2.5? autoconf [ -x /usr/bin/autoheader-2.5? ] && ln -s /usr/bin/autoheader-2.5? autoheader [ -x /usr/bin/aclocal-1.5 ] && ln -s /usr/bin/aclocal-1.5 aclocal [ -x /usr/bin/automake-1.5 ] && ln -s /usr/bin/automake-1.5 automake export PATH=`pwd`:$PATH # End workaround cd qt ./gen cd .. make -f Makefile.cvs %build .... Why variable PATH is being exported here ? RPM executes %prep- and %build- sections separately. PATH doesn't keep its value at the beginning of %build- section anyway. All links to necessary versions of autoconf, automake etc. made above will be inaccessible. Old versions of those tools will be used. Because of this issue (?) configure generates wrong config.h (it's too short). The package doesn't build. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Build the SRPM-package as usual Actual Results: ..... cd . && /bin/sh /users/compiler/tc_4/WORK_DIR/BUILD/control-panel- 4.2.3/admin/missing --run autoheader FATAL ERROR: Autoconf version 2.50 or higher is required for this script cd . \ ..... aboutimpl.cpp(34): error: identifier "VERSION" is undefined title_l->setText( QString(i18n( "control panel %1")).arg(VERSION)); ^ compilation aborted for aboutimpl.cpp (code 2) make[2]: *** [aboutimpl.o] Error 2 ..... Expected Results: Here should be no any errors Additional info:
