I believe that usually a CFLAGS=%{optflags} before the configure line would do the job. But some makefiles can be tricky, one way out is setting the CC to "gcc %{optflags}" 2) Make sure created directories belong to the package. 3) Always remember to use the rpmlint tool on the created rpm files. Good luck. :-) Just a few tips on what have bitten me on my first RPM packages.

2) Make sure created directories belong to the package.

3) Always remember to use the rpmlint tool on the created rpm files.

Good luck. :-)

The problem is that the picture for the planet is not hosted by me. It has to be 80x80, but here it's 180x180 due to a typo I made before sending it. I sent a mail to the admin to correct it and apologize :) I know, I know. The problem is that the picture for the planet is not hosted by me.

Unless you want your head to run over into the content. Which might be pretty cool too. :) Maybe you should shrink it down a touch for the hackergotchi.
