I am building an RPM for petsc-3.2-p5. I would like the users of the RPM to be able to mention the PETSC_DIR at installation time, i.e, the RPM should be relocatable.
For example, rpm -ivh --prefix=$HOME/petsc export PETSC_DIR=$HOME/petsc The issue is that while building the RPM, the "configure -prefix=$DIR" builds the package assuming that $DIR is the final location of the files. So, the only way seems to be to decide the installation path upfront and make the RPM non relocatable. Even with PETSC_DIR and PETSC_ARCH, it looks like the path is being hardcoded, i.e, once PETSc is built, the files cannot be simply moved by changing PETSC_DIR and PETSC_ARCH. I was wondering if there is workaround for this issue or if I am missing anything. Thanks Shiva -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
