Description of problem: makeself.sh is a shell script that generates a self-extractable tar.gz archive from a directory. The resulting file appears as a shell script, and can be launched as is. The archive will then uncompress itself to a temporary directory and an arbitrary command will be executed (for example an installation script). This is pretty similar to archives generated with WinZip Self-Extractor in the Windows world. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 2.3.0
According to the Linux build instructions wiki for Virtualbox it needs to be installed for the configure command to work.

I still see same error about missing makeself when running ./configure after I downloaded via svn.
Created attachment 9763 [details] Proposal specfile It won't build due to this error: error: Directory could not be found: /home/umeaboy/rpmbuild/BUILDROOT/makeself-2.3.1-1.mga6.x86_64/usr/share/man Run(%doc): /bin/sh -e /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.Okrz6c + umask 022 + cd /home/kristoffer/rpmbuild/BUILD + cd makeself-2.3.1 + DOCDIR=/home/umeaboy/rpmbuild/BUILDROOT/makeself-2.3.1-1.mga6.x86_64/usr/share/doc/makeself + export DOCDIR + /usr/bin/mkdir -p /home/umeaboy/rpmbuild/BUILDROOT/makeself-2.3.1-1.mga6.x86_64/usr/share/doc/makeself + cp -pr README.md /home/umeaboy/rpmbuild/BUILDROOT/makeself-2.3.1-1.mga6.x86_64/usr/share/doc/makeself + cp -pr makeself.lsm /home/umeaboy/rpmbuild/BUILDROOT/makeself-2.3.1-1.mga6.x86_64/usr/share/doc/makeself + exit 0 RPM build error: Directory could not be found: /home/umeaboy/rpmbuild/BUILDROOT/makeself-2.3.1-1.mga6.x86_64/usr/share/man I'm hoping that someone can help fix this so we can push it to cauldron.

(In reply to David GEIGER from comment #5) > makeself is now imported on Cauldron! > > http://svnweb.mageia.org/packages?view=revision&revision=1174377 Thanks for importing this! However, I fail to find the .tar.gz mentioned as Source in http://svnweb.mageia.org/packages/cauldron/makeself/releases/2.3.1/1.mga7/SOURCES/ Shouldn't there be one?
David: Since installing makeself in Cauldron I get this error everytime I use urpmi to update packages: xz: /usr/share/man/man1/makeself.1.xz: File format not recognized It would be great if you could solve that.
Should be fixed in next makeself update!
