That worked, so here's all the things did to get the spec file to work:
1) untarred the archive, ran ./configure to get the spec file
2) copied the spec file to /usr/src/redhat/SPECS
3) renamed the source folder from avifile-0.53.5 to avifile-0.53 and made a new
tar.gz named avifile-0.53.tar.gz and put it in /usr/src/redhat/SOURCES. I did
this renaming bacuase the configure script sets the version in the spec file as
0.53 instead of 0.53.5. I suppose changing the spec file to have version 0.53.5
would work too, no big deal.
4) rpm -bb --clean --rmsource avifile.spec, got the "Mpegtoraw::generate(void)"
error
5) deleted three instances of 'inline' from filter.cpp and filter_2.cpp in
lib/audiodecoder/mpeg. The first instance was a 3 line #ifdef clause, I removed
the whole tings in both files (one #ifdef clause, and it appeared in two
function signatures).
6) rpm -bb --clean --rmsource avifile.spec, got the __strcpy_smal error
7) deleted --enable-release from the %build script in avifile.spec
8) rpm -bb --clean --rmsource avifile.spec, success. Two rpms were created,
avifile and avifile-qt. Both installed ifne and I can start aviplay, I don't
have any avi files handy to test with, but so far so far.
Hope that helps. :)
