i'm a newbie at building rpms. I made a few rpms years ago, but can't now make one on Centos 5.
In /usr/local/rpmbuild, there are 5 subdirs: BUILD RPMS SOURCES SPECS SRPMS tmp
When I type: rpmbuild -ba /usr/local/rpmbuild/SPECS/centos-release-cr-ihc.spec
I get 'file not found' errors, for paths in /usr/local/rpmbuild/tmp: error: File not found: /usr/local/rpmbuild/tmp/centos-release-cr-ihc-buildroot/etc/yum.repos.d error: File not found: /usr/local/rpmbuild/tmp/centos-release-cr-ihc-buildroot/etc/yum.repos.d/CentOS-cr.repo RPM build errors: File not found: /usr/local/rpmbuild/tmp/centos-release-cr-ihc-buildroot/etc/yum.repos.d File not found: /usr/local/rpmbuild/tmp/centos-release-cr-ihc-buildroot/etc/yum.repos.d/CentOS-cr.repo
All i did was to: 1) put a tarball in SOURCES, 2) put a spec file in SPECS, 3) rpmbuild -ba my spec file
Did I miss a step? If not, here's the contents of my tarball and spec file:
The tarball in SOURCES is named: centos-release-cr-ihc-1.tar.gz the contents of which are: drwxr-xr-x root/root 0 2011-09-09 15:40:01 centos-release-cr-ihc-1/ drwxr-xr-x root/root 0 2011-09-09 15:39:57 centos-release-cr-ihc-1/etc/ drwxr-xr-x root/root 0 2011-09-09 15:40:39 centos-release-cr-ihc-1/etc/yum.repos.d/ -rw-r--r-- root/root 523 2011-09-09 15:35:59 centos-release-cr-ihc-1/etc/yum.repos.d/CentOS-cr.repo
my spec file is /usr/local/rpmbuild/SPECS/centos-release-cr-ihc.spec the contents of which are: Summary: Package to set up IHC use of the centos-cr repository Name: centos-release-cr-ihc Version: 1 Release: 1 Source0: centos-release-cr-ihc-1.tar.gz License: GPL Group: IHC-config BuildArch: noarch BuildRoot: %{_tmppath}/%{name}-buildroot %description Package to set up IHC use of the centos-cr repository %prep %setup -q %build %install install -m 0755 -d /etc/yum.repos.d install -m 0755 etc/yum.repos.d/CentOS-cr.repo /etc/yum.repos.d/CentOS-cr.repo %clean rm -rf $RPM_BUILD_ROOT %post echo " " echo "Yay IHC IS Team!" %files %dir /etc/yum.repos.d /etc/yum.repos.d/CentOS-cr.repo
