Question

I am new to rpmbuild command. I carefully read its manpage and I am experimenting with it.

It is trying to create the .rpm files in the /RPMS directory, where I don't have permission to write.

How to control where the files are put??

I don't know, maybe it's just me, but I find it very strange that the manpage for a command that creates a file, does not explain where that file is to be created.

Was it helpful?

Solution 2

Follow a setup guide like this one: wiki.centos.org/HowTos/SetupRpmBuildEnvironment

OTHER TIPS

OK, I read that --showrc option shows options, and grepped the output of that for /RPMS, then read the macro file where that was coming from. So now I can see, that I can put the following in the .spec file

%define _rpmdir path/to/my_directory
