Comment for a customized spec file

Recently I need to build .rpm for ming-0.4.2. There is a perl-ext in the source tree and I need include it in .rpm:


[sean@Build-64bit SPECS]$ ./configure --prefix=/usr/local --enable-perl --disable-cpp


For C part, the original spec file is just fine, but for Perl part, I got "Installed but not packaged" error. After added missing files to spec %files section, I got working version. This is final version of ming.spec:


1 # Some distributions name their Freetype 2 package "freetype", while others
2 # name it "freetype2". You can define the name your distribution uses here.
3 %define freetype2 freetype

Comments:
1. I changed "Name:" tag(Line 6). And of course I changed tarball from ming-0.4.2.tar.gz to nMetrics-ming-0.4.2.tar.gz as you can see in the "Source:" tag(Line 11)
2. Add build options to "%configure" macro
3. Add files to "%files" section
4. The last thing not in spec file is that I changed "%{_prefix}" from default(/usr) to (/usr/local) by type this:


[sean@Build-64bit SPECS]$ rpmbuild -bb ming.spec --define '_prefix /usr/local'
