Hi,

For the purpose of doing a RPM packaging workshop, I need a simple clear
hello world type example using autotools. Can anyone point me to
something suitable for the purpose?

You mean GNU hello? :-)

A tutorial is available at

https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/A_Short_RPM_Tutorial

Thanks to Przemek Klosowski for writing it.

There is a small bug in the example:

Instead of

%find_lang %{name}
rm -f $RPM_BUILD_ROOT/usr/share/info/dir

this should be

%find_lang %{name}
rm -f $RPM_BUILD_ROOT%{_infodir}/dir


Background: The example uses %configure
i.e. it passes --infodir=%{_infodir} to configure,
i.e. it's %{_infodir} where "dir" is being installed,
not "/usr/share/info"

Yes, I was. Probably the replay was lost.

Hmm. The original example works. Changing that and building the spec
doesn't actually work. Have you checked that?

You have
rm -f $RPM_BUILD_ROOT%{infodir}/dir

in the Wiki.

It should be
rm -f $RPM_BUILD_ROOT%{_infodir}/dir

Note: %{_infodir} vs. %{infodir}
