   Hi,   
      
   I have Leap 15.6 installed, but one particular package lost   
   functionality between 15.5 and 15.6 so I have installed the Source rpm   
   from 15.5 and wish to compile it against the current libraries.  I have   
   already tried using the 15.5 executable but things are not going   
   particularly well - random aborts and general misbehaviour.   
      
   dragonplayer-22.12.3-bp155.1.5.src.rpm   
      
   https://en.opensuse.org/SDB:Compiling_software was "tested on openSUSE   
   12.1" and is not being particularly helpful - starting with there not   
   being a "./configure" file (I had copied and unpacked   
   SOURCES/dragon-22.12.3.tar.xz).   
      
   Is there any current documentation?  Bearing in mind that I have not   
   compiled anything under Linux for at least 25 years (back then it was   
   Kernels and Samba).
