And sometimes you even learn things from package suggest:
http://www.pclinuxos.com/forum/index.php/topic,86607.0/topicseen.html

Maybe something useful for you (didn't try it myself yet, but if it does what it say - it'll be handy)
=> for your current package you can e.g. just use the 'old' version, apparently available in the repo's  :)

I found the 3 files in which the constant VAR_PREFIX is contained in. They are:

./src/setup.c
./src/Makefile.am
./src/Makefile.in

But now, even though I have found the lines inside in which the constant is contained, I have no idea how to change them. ???

If you did need to change source code, you would use diff to create a patch. But, I suspect there is a ./configure option that would allow an appropriate path to work. ./configure creates a new Makefile. You can move files or create symlinks with appropriate permissions in the specfile, but it can get really messy. The best way is to find examples of other more up to date specfiles to see what the Mandriva, Fedora or other rpm builders are doing to build the program. Then ask lots of questions.

No, not at all. If anything it proves how horrible of a packager I am. The first suggestions I made were bad and had nothing to do with the issue and I should have known better. I've been trying to learn packaging for a while now and still most of my packaging attempts fail. But it's a non-stop learning process and I like it.

No, I have to second Chomp...
That just indicates you're learning... and I think that a packager has to learn his/her whole package-'career'!

I also packaged one or two things now; I thought: mmh, ok, that's not that difficult... but during opening other SPEC files, I was surprised of their content sometimes  :) (how is it ever possible to do such things I thought => but if someone let me look at a 'simple' SPEC file 2 or 3 weeks ago, I'd have said: what's that a terrific difficult thing)
All packagers started long ago as newbies, and some beginner-packagers still are (look at me  ;D)

Hi Aradalf,

What's up with the tux* packages ? I'm looking forward for your progress, hoping to build the next Edu RC4 just after you fix them ! :)

Hi Aradalf, thanks a lot. I have installed your latest tuxtype a moment ago. We had someone at home who came to buy a laptop a girl-friend of us (from Ireland) had let us to sell it for her. I had just installed PCLinuxOS Openbox in it, because this is what worked the best on this low spec Fujitsu Siemens, and I had shown and explained Synaptic to the buyer. He discovered your version of Tuxtype at same time as me, but he was seeing it for the very first time in his life ! (Same for Linux and PCLinuxOS too, at same time).

Just great ! Works so well and it's so fun ! \o/ !

Congratulations, that is a nice package, well done ! :D

It's not really my version, since Chomp was the one who fixed the errors. I updated it, but Chomp was the one who actually got it working.
