Unable to build binary RPM

It compiles fine but at the end there's no binary RPM. I am able to make source RPMS just not binary. Here is the spec file.

Code:

Summary: lesstif

Name: lesstif

Version: 0.95.1

Release: 1

License: GPL

Group: A

Source: lesstif-0.95.1.tar.gz

BuildRequires: Xorg



%description 



%prep



%setup



%build



./configure --prefix=/usr

make 



%install

make install



%clean

What's your distribution and rpm and rpm-build package versions?
What's the actual output from running 'rpmbuild -bb /path/to/your/lesstif.spec'?
* If you want to attach output as plain text run it as 'rpmbuild -bb /path/to/your/lesstif.spec 2>&1|tee /tmp/rpmbuild.txt' and then see "/tmp/rpmbuild.txt".

RPM build errors:

RPM is manually installed, it seems to be working aside from being unable to build (it's able to install rpms and make src rpms).

I don't know what "manually installed" means or results in except that your distribution apparently doesn't use RPM as package manager. Also you're building packages as root account user which is not a good practice. Finally if this is the whole log then there is no way to determine if the %build phase was successful. Best run the standard './configure --prefix=~/tmp; make; make DESTDIR=~/tmp install' mantra as unprivileged user once before building the package and check if it spits out warnings.
