rpmbuild

I worked on Redhat Linux, I have a tar.gz file. I want to package this tar.gz file to a rpm package file. In the rpm package phase, I just want to extract the tar.gz file and package all of the staff into the rpm package, when I install the rpm package in linux server, it will just simply copy all of the files into the destination folder. I have tried a lot. Here goes some code for my SPEC file, but it has problems: %prep %build pwd %install rm -rf /usr/local/sample mkdir /usr/local/sample cd %{_sourcedir} tar -xzvf sample.tar.gz -C /usr/local/sample %clean rm -rf %{buildroot} %files %defattr(

I have been struggling for a while with this one. So I wrote a .specs file for my project and everything went fine. The rpm is built, the installation is smooth... but then I got some trouble because now, I have to use a custom global environment variable to set the install path. This would give a %files section as such : %files %defattr(-,root,root) $INSTALLPATH/Crystal/bin/Crystal.jar Where Crystal is my project name, and INSTALLPATH is defined within env thanks to the export commandline. Then, when running buildrpm -ba Crystal.specs I have the following error: error: File must begin with "/

I am having a weird RPM issue, I am new to it so bear with me... I have the spec file created and when I run to do the build I get an error: /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.ajKra4: line 36: cd: hero-01: No such file or directory error: Bad exit status from /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.ajKra4 (%prep) Then I check that temp file and it is trying to CD to a directory that does not exist.. Should it be creating this in the spec file? if so where? Here is my spec file: Summary: Install Hero Name: hero Version: 01 Release: 1 Group: Billing reporting Source: %{name}-%{version}.tar.gz License: SLA %description Hero billing

I noticed rpmbuild (-bb and --buildroot options) creates the .rpm in different locations depending of what OS are you using: GNU/Linux Ubuntu <= 9.04: /usr/src/rpm/... GNU/Linux Ubuntu >= 9.10: /home/rpmbuild/... GNU/Linux Fedora: /usr/src/redhat/... So how can I set manually the destination folder for all OS? Replying myself, adding: %define _rpmdir /outputdir to .spec file. You may want to use the command argument --define : For example, this will send the rpm files into the current directory. rpmbuild anything.spec --bb --define "_rpmdir $(pwd)" This will send the rpmsto output dir rpmbuild

I am adding some sources to an existing rpm .spec file by URL and don't have them downloaded yet. Is there a way to get rpmbuild to download the sources rather than doing it manually? joeforker The spectool utility from the rpmdevtools package can do this. Just install rpmdevtools and point spectools at the .spec like so: spectool -g -R SPECS/nginx.spec It will download any missing sources into rpm's %{_sourcedir} (usually SOURCES ) directory. For posterity, there is another way to do it, which does not need any additional tools or downloads: rpmbuild --undefine=_disable_source_fetch -ba /path

RPM包制作过程 1.1 前期工作 1）创建打包用的目录rpmbuild/{BUILD,SPECS,RPMS, SOURCES,SRPMS} 建议使用普通用户，在用户家目录中创建 2）确定好制作的对象，是源码包编译打包还只是一些库文件打包 3）编写SPEC文件 4）开始制作 1.2 RPM制作过程 1）读取并解析 filename.spec 文件 2）运行 %prep 部分来将源代码解包到一个临时目录，并应用所有的补丁程序。 3）运行 %build 部分来编译代码。 4）运行 %install 部分将代码安装到构建机器的目录中。 5）读取 %files 部分的文件列表，收集文件并创建二进制和源 RPM 文件。 6）运行 %clean 部分来除去临时构建目录。 补充说明： BUILD目录：制作车间，二进制tar.gz包的解压后存放的位置，并在此目录进行编译安装 SPECS目录：存放SPEC文件 RPMS目录：存放制作好的rpm包 SOURCES目录：存放源代码 SRPMS目录：存放编译好的二进制rpm包 BUILDROOT目录：此目录是在BUILD目录中执行完make install之后生成的目录，里面存放的是编译安装好的文件，他是./configure中―prefix指定path的根目录 1.3制作工具：rpmbuild 制作过程的几个状态 rpmbuild -bp 执行到
