Any ideas?

These are bash scripts right, not sources, it's probably not finding the right commands to build it, since it's not a true source. 

Maybe look at the src.rpm for pokerTH and see how Tex packaged the jar file, also not a true source.  Unless you already thought of that. 

I will take a look when I get home, I'm just guessing at the moment.

[Texstar]

make a folder called GetOpenOffice-0.3
put script file into folder
compress folder to  GetOpenOffice-0.3.tar.bz2


srpm for addlocale:

Thanks, Tex!

The RPMs built successfully. However the entry in the utilities folder for addlocale is showing as "Setup-Language" with the sub being "set up sound card.."  (Pinoc requested Add-Locale be used in preference to Setup-Language.) The entry for GetOpenOffice in the utilities folder is not showing up at all. Both have entries in system > configuration.

SRPM for addlocale.

SRPM for GetOpenOffice.

You didn't actually think you would get it on the first, or second...... or third try did you?  

Welcome to the club.  

Just messin wit ya Neal, I'll take a look.  If there is anything extremely obvious, I might get lucky and spot it.

Of course not! Why would I ever think that? Sheesh!

Is there any particular reason by you chose bin instead of sbin?
openoffice from you:
install -m 755 %{name} $RPM_BUILD_ROOT%_prefix/bin/%{name}
add-locale from Tex:
install -m 755 %{name} $RPM_BUILD_ROOT%_prefix/sbin/%{name}

OK, lame I know, still looking at them, but I don't see anything extremely obvious.

Pinoc asked that bin be used for GOO and sbin for AL.

OK, still looking, but I just built, and installed them both, neither one showed up in my utilities folder, though they are both in my menu->system->configuration.

Nice trick with the icons, I expected to see them in the src.rpm, but they already exist, sweet.

OK, looking at the spec files, it appears that the entry in the utilities folder is put in /etc/skel which would indicate it will only appear in the utilities folder for newly created users, so, I will create a test user, and see if it is there.

[Joble]

OK, I created a new user, and the new scripts do show up in the Utilities folder for the new user, but not in mine.  So you either accept it, or maybe you can try to make an entry in the utilities folder for the current user.  Your Choice, Good Luck.

For the existing users you would have to manually copy the desktop files from /etc/skel to the utilies folder for root and guest.

Texstar quoted me!  I think that is only the third time in two and half years!

Looks like success Neal!  Congratulations!

[Neal ManBear]

Thank you, Texstar! Thank you, Joble. This is appreciated.
