I'm trying to build a spec file to create rpm for FreeXL con CentOS 7.
If I try to execute these steps manually
tar xzf freexl-1.0.2.tar.gz
cd freexl-1.0.2
export MAKEFLAGS='-j2'
./configure --prefix=/usr/local && make && make install
all works fine I can see under /usr/local/..... the files aboout FreeXL.
I've tried to "translate" these steps in a spec file ... here you are it

I obtain my freexl-debuginfo-1.0.2-1.csi.x86_64.rpm file but when I try to install it nothing is installed (and no errors are shown during installation ....
I think that probably there are some errors in my spec file ...... any suggestions / examples?
I've solved: the problem was that my spec file was not complete ....
Here you're a correct spec file that works fine ....
