Re: Loads of problems building RPM

[Jim Ribar <jimmacr optonline net>]

The first two things worked great, and all built well.

But after trying to run the configure script in the db3 directory, it 
configures properly but after that, I get an error.

It seems to be caused when the following runs at the end of the 
configure script:
# Generate manifest for rpmdb.
make -s listobjs > db3lobjs

Here is the error:

"makefile", line 279: Need an operator
make: fatal errors encountered -- cannot continue


Apparently there is a problem with you changing: (To be more specific, 
line 279 is the one with the echo on it)

# We're building a standard library or a RPM file hierarchy, potentially

.PHONY: listobjs
listobjs:
@echo $(OBJS) $(C_OBJS)

distdir install check:

db3_install: all install_setip \


Thanks for your help!
