I was having trouble building the U++ RPM in Mageia 3. I was getting this error:
| Quote: |
RPM build errors::
The file must begin with a "/": %{_desktopdir}/theide.desktop
|
I contacted the Mageia forum and figured out the %{desktopdir} macro needs the following to be available:
| Quote: |
BuildRequires: jpackage-utils
|
The %{_desktopdir} macro is expanded to: /usr/share/applications
Attached is the final spec file that worked for me in Mageia. In another thread I also provided the spec file for OpenSUSE.
Now the file just needs some cleaning and organizing to be useful for all distributions (in the attached file I just made a quick test for Mageia and it worked fine)
Instructions:
1) Download this: http://www.ultimatepp.org/downloads/upp-x11-src-6618.tar.gz
2) Extract this package. Substitute for attached spec file or edit the spec file and add to BuildRequires: jpackage-utils
3) Install jpackage-utils:
# urpmi jpackage-utils
4) Repackage the extracted folder as tar.gz.
5) As normal user build the RPM:
$ rpmbuild -tb --define 'version 6618' --define "date $(LC_TIME=En date '+%a %b %d %Y')" upp-x11-src-6618.tar.gz
6) After it finished double-click the generated RPM in ~/rpmbuild/RPMS/ folder to install it.
Enjoy!
PS: Some useful information:

$ grep -Ri desktopdir /etc/rpm
/etc/rpm/macros.jpackage:%_desktopdir %{_datadir}/applications
$ rpm -qf /etc/rpm/macros.jpackage
jpackage-utils-1.7.5-20.mga3
