Re: [Ltib] Fedora 11 / Issues to build LTIB / rpm-fs build fails / %pfx macro

[Stuart Hughes]

Hi Mariano,

I looked again now realised that the version you (and Franz) are running
is from Freescale (an ISO).  On the Savannah version when it builds
rpm-fs it does not refer to the .spec file in
/tmp/rpm-user/SPECS/rpm-fs.spec:

/usr/bin/rpmbuild --dbpath ///tmp/rpm-seh/rpmdb --target i686 --define
'_unpackaged_files_terminate_build 0' --define '_target_cpu i686'
--define '__strip strip' --define '_topdir /tmp/rpm-seh' --define
'_prefix /opt/ltib/usr' --define '_tmppath
/data/seh/Src/ltib_bsps/savannah_ltib/tmp' --define '_rpmdir
/tmp/rpm-seh/RPMS'  --define '_mandir /opt/ltib/usr/share/man' --define
'_sysconfdir /opt/ltib/etc' --define '_localstatedir /var' -bb --clean
--rmsource
/data/seh/Src/ltib_bsps/savannah_ltib/dist/lfs-5.1/rpm/rpm-fs.spec

So I would guess that the Freescale BSP has missed some update that has
gone into Savannah.  I really don't know what this might be though as
I've not ever seen (or had a record) of this problem in my notes.

I think the last user just removed /tmp/rpm-user and re-tried, it might
be worth trying this.  If this does not work, you'll need to ask
Freescale to help you.

Regards, Stuart
