How to get the %configure macro to run "../configure"? %global _configure ../configure works on my machine but not the koji builders.

Obviously, if CONFIGURE_TOP is not > specified it defaults to ./ , and if you want to run a configure from > some other dir, you define CONFIGURE_TOP in the spec. Would it not be more appropriate to do this as a macro? It seems like CONFIGURE_TOP is an environment variable. rpm/macros: %_configure ./configure %configure \ %{_configure} ... And then %define _configure ../configure cd build %configure --enable-other-stuff
