I checked the friggin build dir, the files are there.
No errors during build, it goes just fine.

Seems it's only you who faces problem here. If RPM fails to find
*-config scripts, then it's usually because installation already fails,
not because the perl regex caused them to disappear. Did you check the
whole build log?

A howto would indeed be nice : ) But there's not one. 


The building, well I did it by hand, but this was for debugging reasons.
I'm sure someone on the mdk team has a kind of 'make world' script?

 Aside from that, I think everything you need is in i586/ 
There was a long thread about making your own cd, search the archives on
that.

Hmmm yeah, I think so, I don't know what it is, and what it does though
: P, back to that 'make world' type script I was talking about : P If
one exists.

locales: localedef is hrm broken (at least from my end), segfaults,
reason unknown. 
Search the mail archives, I made a few posts about this.

armagetron: eh, bad code or patch iirc

ImageMagick: Compiles fine, but there's some wierd perl regex going on
inside that spec file which makes it impossible for RPM to find
Magick++-config and other scripts/programs/whatever in the devel
package.

perl-DB: Fails during tests, thus it exits : )

hdf5: Hmm I don't remember why on this one

Yup, it should... Whether it does or not remains to be seen : p

I'd be very interested in your results
I sucessfully built 771 packages (the ones I use : p), only a few I
could not build, these being the following:
armagetron-i586 => armagetron-0.1.4.9-6mdk.src.rpm
ImageMagick-i586 => ImageMagick-5.4.2.3-1mdk.src.rpm
libhdf5_0-devel-i586 => hdf5-1.4.2p1-1mdk.src.rpm
libhdf5_0-i586 => hdf5-1.4.2p1-1mdk.src.rpm
libMagick5-i586 => ImageMagick-5.4.2.3-1mdk.src.rpm
locales-en-i586 => locales-2.3.1.2-8mdk.src.rpm
locales-i586 => locales-2.3.1.2-8mdk.src.rpm
perl-DB_File-i586 => perl-DB_File-1.802-1mdk.src.rpm

If you would like reasons why these packages couldn't build, shout out :
) (locales is being looked into...)

A few tips:
SAFE FLAGS! 
For your PIII opts I would recommend the default flags for i586, but
simply s/i586\/i686/ on the -march switch

Also, you will (I'm pretty sure) run into a few hicups here and there...
For example: 
Take out the man page entries in the glibc.spec , otherwise the build
will error out with file not found by glob bla bla... 
The reason for this? I have Noo idea! : ) 
GB says it's because it's not building for the default mdk arch (i586),
which doesn't make sense to me, but he knows more about RPM than I do :
p

Other than that, enjoy!  

P.S. Results afterwards please? : )
