I don't know how to fix a "install: missing destination file operand after ..."

[jcsl]

Hi.

I'm trying to update the package FBReader but, it fails with a "install:
missing destination file operand after ..." error. I (think that I) know what
it means (a missing or misspelled filename), but I don't know how to fix it.
I'm not very used to build packages. You can see the log file at

https://build.opensuse.org/package/live_build_log/home:jcsl:test/fbreader/openSUSE_13.1/x86_64

Any help is welcome. Thanks in advance.

Greetings.

Hello!

Please set destination directory to make to install files: `make install
DESTDIR=%{buildroot}` or `make INSTALL_ROOT=%{buildroot} install`. You
should check for the correct variable at makefile or documentation.

Hi.

The build fails when the line

make -C fbreader do_install DESTDIR=%{buildroot} TARGET_ARCH=desktop
UI_TYPE=dummy

of the spec file %install section is reached*. Is the fbreader/Makefile what I
have to check? If so, do I have to check the do_install part or something in
particular? Sorry, but I'm very lost with this, XD.

* There was a "%{_sbindir}" pasted by mistake in the cited line, but if fails
without it too.

Greetings.

Hi.

The problem seems to be the line

install -m644 %{SOURCE1}
%{buildroot}%{_datadir}/applications/FBReader.desktop

I've commented that line and it still fails, but I think that the problem now
is that I'm reusing the previous spec file because I don't know how to make
them from scratch and it may be quite obsolete (the version in the repository
is from 2010!). Anyway, I'll keep on trying to make it work. I'll use the spec
file from the Mageia repo to guide myself.

Thank you very much for your time and help.

Greetings.
