Everything in bash script.
It actually might be working. What I did was I was looking for a
confirmation like this:
$ ps -FC rpmbuild --cols 9999
UID PID PPID C SZ RSS PSR STIME TTY TIME CMD
appmgr 24855 24835 0 44512 6772 16 17:33 pts/0 00:00:00 rpmbuild
--define "_MKL 1" --define "_mic 1"
waiting to see those quotation marks(single or double) in there, but..
it turns out that it works actually when ps is not showing them, like:
$ ps -FC rpmbuild --cols 9999
UID PID PPID C SZ RSS PSR STIME TTY TIME CMD
appmgr 24855 24835 0 44512 6772 16 17:33 pts/0 00:00:00 rpmbuild
--define _MKL 1 --define _mic 1
and then vars(in a bash script, all in such a script) are simply declared:
...
export _definition1='_MKL 1'
rpmbuild --define "${_definition1}" --define "${_definition2}"
without! any escaping of quotes.
