Small buglet trying to recompile SRPM

[Jim Knoble]

Circa 2001-Jul-24 14:13:05 -0400 dixit John Aldrich:

: I've got RedHat 7.1 and when I downloaded the SRPM for 
: openssh-2.9p2-1.src.rpm and tried to rpm --recompile it bombed.
: 
: Here's the error message that it generated:
:   + pushd x11-ssh-askpass-1.2.0
: /usr/src/redhat/BUILD/openssh-2.9p2/x11-ssh-askpass-1.2.0 
: /usr/src/redhat/BUILD/openssh-2.9p2
: + xmkmf -a
: imake -DUseInstalled -I/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/config
: make Makefiles
: Makefile:1052: *** target file `distclean' has both : and :: entries.  Stop.
: error: Bad exit status from /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.57894 (%build)

For what it's worth (in case it's not obvious to you), the problem is
in building x11-ssh-askpass (the graphical passphrase dialog), not
OpenSSH proper.  I'm the author and maintainer of x11-ssh-askpass.

Sounds like your imake configuration adds some targets to the
generated Makefile that no one else's does.   Or, potentially, your
version of 'make' complains at something that no one else's does.

Please send the output of the following commands:

  rpm -qa |fgrep -i XFree86 |sort
  rpm -qf `which make`

Also, please send me (privately, not to the list) the following:

  /usr/src/redhat/BUILD/openssh-2.9p2/x11-ssh-askpass-1.2.0/Imakefile
  /usr/src/redhat/BUILD/openssh-2.9p2/x11-ssh-askpass-1.2.0/Makefile

so that i can try to diagnose the problem.
