The trouble is that the file does not come with a make install in the Makefile: thus the executable is not moved to the file. Therefore, I wonder how do I deal with such a situation?

Thanks again (to Gordon also)!
I am sorry I do not quite understand what to do here. Is there an example spec file I can look at for this?

I tried Gordon's suggestion and added:


%install
install -d $RPM_BUILD_ROOT/%{_bindir}
install -m 755 luskipc $RPM_BUILD_ROOT/%{_bindir}/luksipc

but get:

+ cd luksipc-0.04
+ install -d /home/maitra/rpmbuild/BUILDROOT/luksipc-0.04-1.fc23.x86_64//usr/bin
+ install -m 755 luskipc /home/maitra/rpmbuild/BUILDROOT/luksipc-0.04-1.fc23.x86_64//usr/bin/luksipc
install: cannot stat 'luskipc': No such file or directory
error: Bad exit status from /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.lyU1cP (%install)


RPM build errors:
    Bad exit status from /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.lyU1cP (%install)

Any suggestions?

I have put the "new" SPEC file here:

$fpaste luksipc.spec
Uploading (2.0KiB)...
WARNING: Could not shorten URL
http://paste.fedoraproject.org/295774/88887881


Many thanks again!

Best wishes,
Ranjan
