directories not owned by a package

English Open Build Service (OBS)
#1

…and I got immediately another problem:

The plugin I’m trying to build should be installed in:

%files
%defattr(-,root,root,-)
%{_libdir}/mozilla/plugins/*.so

The build log says:

GarminPlugin-0.3.3-16.1.i586.rpm: directories not owned by a package:
 - /usr/lib/mozilla
 - /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins
   64.379144] SysRq : Power Off

…which ends in a build failure. How can I capture this?

Thx
Ax

Hi
On openSUSE it’s normally /usr/%_lib/browser-plugins/ not what your
seeing. If you can run configure then need to use this… else manually
install it eg;


install -D -m 0755 plugin_blah.so %{buildroot}/usr/%_lib/browser-plugins/plugin_blah.so

Malcolm,
thanks for your hints.
Indeed there is a configure call during the build process:

%configure --with-ticpp-libdir=%{_libdir} --with-ticpp-incdir=%{_includedir} --with-garmintools-incdir=%{_includedir} --with-garmintools-libdir=%{_libdir}

How can I find out what the variable for the target /usr/%_lib/browser-plugins/ is?
Sorry to ask, I’m not the owner of the Plugin, nor a programmer, just trying to adapt…

hi

try put the two directories in %files


%files
%defattr(-,root,root,-)
%{_libdir}/mozilla/plugins/*.so
/usr/lib/mozilla
/usr/lib/mozilla/plugins

if this can help

bye

Hi
You need to use the %dir directive if they aren’t owned by the package,
else use the upstream package that does own the directories in your
BuildRequires.
