Hi Tim,

I get the message
packaging/rpm/Makefile.am:1: required directory packaging/rpm/SPECS does not exist 
from autogen.sh.

I think the problem is the following:
Gerald created a new directory packaging/rpm/SPECS in CVS.
If you are updating you working copy with "cvs update" or
"cvs update -P" only, the new directory won't be created.
You need to call "cvs update" with the "-d" option and it will
get the SPECS directory and the files therein.

Maybe a hint could be added in
http://www.ethereal.com/development.html#anoncvs
about this?

Hi everyone.  Ethereal seems to be broken for the case where
the source directory is not the same as the build directory:

Making all in packaging
make[2]: Entering directory `/data/work/ethereal/build/packaging'
Making all in rpm
make[3]: Entering directory `/data/work/ethereal/build/packaging/rpm'
Making all in SPECS
/bin/sh: cd: SPECS: No such file or directory

I'm sure there is a one line fix for this but it escapes my meagre
autoconf skills at the moment.


Tim.
