Hi all,
Has anyone tried to rebuild bacula from the source RPM provided on Karanbir's CentOS yum repo?
yes :) I have!
Every time I give it a go, I'm given this error during the configure stage:
checking host system type... configure: error: can not guess host type; you must specify one
I've tried specifying the host type in the spec file itself by entering the following: --host=x86_64-centos-linux-gnu and --host=x86_64-redhat-linux-gnu
whats in /etc/rpm/platform ? and you might want to work with --define "_host foo"
but neither have worked.
Have you ever managed to build anything on this machine ? ( try something smaller like time-*.src.rpm )
This is my first go at building bacula, so I'm pretty sure I'm missing something: I just don't know what.
Is the spec file hosed? Something else entirely?
Spec builds fine for me. install the src.rpm and take a look, its quite a well defined spec[1] file.
