I'm attempting to create an RPM from a spec file that was provided here:
http://sauron.jyu.fi/docs/manual/x191.html
Having not used rpm much, I assume that I execute the command rpmbuild
and point it at the spec file.
rpmbuild sauron.spec
error: File /root/rpmbuild/SOURCES/sauron-0.7.3.tar.gz: No such file or directory
Since it appears that the rpmbulid utility expects files to be located in a certain location, I copy them there.
tree ~/rpmbuild/
/root/rpmbuild/
├── BUILD
├── BUILDROOT
├── RPMS
├── SOURCES
│ └── sauron-0.7.3.tar.gz
├── SPECS
│ └── sauron.spec
└── SRPMS
I've tried executing the rpmbuild command from ~ , ~/rpmbuild/SPECS and other directories, yet I'm not able to create the RPM. There is no output or logging that would indicate what the problem might me.
This should be a simple task, yet even with google, I'm not able to figure it out. Can anyone offer guidance on how to build this RPM?
