I really need a crunch box as a build server. 4 trottling bridges sold this far.

How do I feed "./configure --enable-iknowbetter" etc to 'rpmbuild --rebuild ntop-2.1.56-0.src.rpm' ? [arnt@lana ntop]$ pwd && ./configure --help | grep iknowbetter /home/arnt/ntop/ntop-2.1.56/ntop --enable-iknowbetter Override WILLFAIL [arnt@lana ntop]$ ..in 'http://y-imai.good-day.net/sylpheed/', Yoichi Imai recommends the use of 'SYLPHEED_CONFIGURE_FLAGS', like this: > $ export SYLPHEED_CONFIGURE_FLAGS="--enable-ssl" > $ rpm --rebuild {#sylpheed_rpm}.src.rpm ..could ntop get NTOP_CONFIGURE_FLAGS in 2.1.57? > Perhaps you should just use the source for rrdtool. It should check > your system, decide it's not there and build without. ..will work nicely as soon as the ntop rpm rollers fix that rrdtools check: [root@lana ntop]# rpm -Uvh ntop-2.1.56-0.i386.rpm error: Failed dependencies: rrdtool is needed by ntop-2.1.56-0 ...and this hilarious one: [root@lana ntop]# rpmbuild --rebuild ntop-2.1.56-0.src.rpm Installing ntop-2.1.56-0.src.rpm error: Failed build dependencies: rrdtool is needed by ntop-2.1.56-0 [root@lana ntop]# ...for example, a wee cute grep cut etc in 'rrdtool --version' output?: [root@lana bin]# ./rrdtool --version RRDtool 1.0.40 Copyright 1997-2001 by Tobias Oetiker <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Usage: rrdtool [options] command command_options Valid commands: create, update, graph, dump, restore, last, info, fetch, tune, resize, xport RRDtool is distributed under the Terms of the GNU General Public License Version 2.
