wine currently doesn't support the DESTDIR flag commonly used by packagers. The patch I've attached fixes this.
Could you explain this a bit more? Why can't you use the existing $prefix to do the same thing?
When creating a spec file for rpms, you basically prepare the source (unpack, apply patches), then run configure, make and --->make install Because the result is intended not to be run but to be packaged, you don't install into e.g. /usr/local directly, but into something like /home/myaccount/rpms/tmp/usr/local. Later, when you *install* the package, you want the binaries to be installed into /usr/local and all paths compiled into the binaries to point to /usr/local/... too. So changing prefix is not the way to go. DESTDIR allows to do the install via "DESTDIR=/home/myaccount/rpms/tmp make install" instead of doing all the steps from "make install" manually.
