  • 1.  creating own RPM fails with files not found

    Hello folks,

    I tried to make a RPM package to distribute some config files for metricbeat.
    Unfortunately I get an error with rpmbuild that I can't explain.
    I already read your article about building a rpm, that helps me to understand it better, but not enough to solve this.
    I know that you have enough to do with supporting your own packages, but if you have time to take a look, would be nice.

    This is my environment I have to deal with:

    cat /home/rpmadm/.rpmmacros

%_topdir /export/standardbuild
%_tmppath /export/standardbuild/tmp
%_sourcedir /export/standardbuild/SOURCES
%_rpmdir /export/standardbuild/RPMS
%_srcrpmdir /export/standardbuild/SRPMS
%_builddir /export/standardbuild/COMP_BUILDS/%{name}

    My Makefile looks like this:

    packagename = metricconf

%_sourcedir = /export/standardbuild/SOURCES


# version number of package: make sure you also update the version
# number in the spec file
version = 1.0

all:
        @echo "usage: make dist | package"

install:
        if [ ! -d $(DESTDIR)/tmp/$(packagename) ]; \
        then \
                mkdir -p $(DESTDIR)/tmp/$(packagename); \
        fi
        
        cp mb_system_betrieb.yml        $(DESTDIR)/tmp/$(packagename)/mb_system_betrieb.yml
        cp metricbeat                   $(DESTDIR)/tmp/$(packagename)/metricbeat
        cp metricbeat.yml               $(DESTDIR)/tmp/$(packagename)/metricbeat.yml

dist:
        tar cvf $(packagename)-$(version).tar ../$(packagename)-$(version)
        gzip $(packagename)-$(version).tar
        cp $(packagename)-$(version).tar.gz $(%_sourcedir) && rm $(packagename)-$(version).tar.gz

package:        rpm

rpm:
        rpmbuild -ba $(packagename).spec
        rm -rf $(packagename)-$(version).tar

    And this is my .spec file:

    Summary:        configures Metricbeat for AIX
Name:           metricconf
Version:        1.0
Release:        0
Vendor:         Comp 
Source:         metricconf-1.0.tar.gz
BuildRoot:      %{_builddir}/%{name}-{version}

Requires: metricbeat

%description
metricconf prepares AIX for metricbeat
%prep
%setup -c
%build
%install
%files
%defattr(644,root,system)
/tmp/metricbeat.yml
/tmp/mb_system_betrieb.yml
/tmp/metricbeat

    make dist works well and the .tar.gz file will be created correctly. But the make rpm command fails every time with following error:

    make rpm
        rpmbuild -ba metricconf.spec

    File not found: /export/standardbuild/tmp/metricconf-1.0-0.ppc/tmp/metricbeat
make: 1254-004 The error code from the last command is 1.## Heading ##

    Please, can anyone explain to me why rpmbuild is looking in "/export/standardbuild/tmp/metricconf-1.0-0.ppc" for the files and not in "/export/standardbuild/COMP_BUILDS/metricconf/metricconf-1.0" ???

    If anyone could give me a hint, it would be very apreciated...

    Many thanks in advance.
    best regards,

    Joerg

    Recent rpm versions won't honour the custom setting for "BuildRoot".
    This is from the rpm macros file ( lslpp -f rpm.rte | grep macros )  " /usr/opt/rpm/lib/rpm/macros"

    # The directory where buildroots will be created.
    %_buildrootdir %{_tmppath}

    # Build root path, where %install installs the package during build.
    %buildroot %{_buildrootdir}/%{name}-%{version}-%{release}.%{_arch}

    # Directory where temporary files can be created.
    %_tmppath /var/tmp


    So the build root in this case is  " %{_tmppath}%{name}-%{version}-%{release}.%{_arch} " which translates to " /export/standardbuild/tmp/metricconf-1.0.0.ppc"
    You need to set the DESTDIR to ${RPM_BUILD_ROOT} in the SPEC file which will fix this issue.

    Thanks Ayappan,

    I set now:
    BuildRoot: %{_tmppath}%{name}-%{version}-%{release}.%{_arch}

    But it seems rpmbuild does ignore it... still the same error... or I still don't get it.

    Don't set BuildRoot. It's useless.
    Replace "DESTDIR' with "${RPM_BUILD_ROOT}" in the spec file.

    Hello Ayappan,

    many thanks for your support. The rpmbuild command is now working...
