Build RPM to install in non standard path

Post by SteffanCline »

I have to work with an older version, specifically 6.6.5-10 on CentOS 6.7, and am trying to build an RPM to install in /usr/local. If I do the configure and make for /usr/local, it installs and works as expected. When I do a make rpm and look at the result via rpm -qlp xxx.rpm it shows everything going into /usr. This overrides the version installed by yum which I am trying to avoid. It appears to DESTDIR in the ImageMagick.spec.in file which comes from the RPM_BUILD_ROOT. Is there a way to fix this so I can generate an RPM that does in fact install where I need it, /usr/local?

I've been beating my head on this for several hours. Help is MUCH appreciated.

None of the IM devs hang out in this forum?

Your question is more of an RPM question rather than an ImageMagick question. See http://www.rpm.org/max-rpm/s1-rpm-anywh ... -area.html as one possible solution.
