Xapian discuss - Jun 2007 - xapian-bindings 1.0.1 won't build under RHEL4

make: *** No rule to make target `install.'.  Stop.

Here's the log output from RPMBUILD:
http://users.ecs.soton.ac.uk/tdb01r/rpm/xapian-bindings.log

Modifying %install doesn't appear to have any effect, so I can't even 
put in some debug to work out what's going on. Any pointers greatly 
appreciated!

Cheers,
Tim.

If modifying %install doesn't achieve anything, I'm not sure what to
suggest (my initial thought was to add "pwd" to it).

In 1.0.2, I replaced "%makeinstall DESTDIR=..." with "make
install
DESTDIR=..." to avoid the bizarre situation of some files having a
double prefix, but that shouldn't cause this - looking at
/usr/lib/rpm/macros, %makeinstall just calls "make install" with
prefix=..., exec_prefix=..., etc.  There's no "-C" option passed
and no "cd" command.

Perhaps Fabrice has some ideas?

Cheers,

That's good to hear.

I will update the RPMs on xapian.org as soon as I have upgraded my boxes
to Fedora 7.

Cheers.
