Not obvious, but possible (at least with OpenPKG-CURRENT and the forthcoming 1.1): Use a ~/.rpmmacros (in the home of the user who builds the packages) with "l_cc /path/to/your/cc" and perhaps "l_cflags -flags -of -your -cc". > 2. we want to be able to automatically rebuild an entire collection of rpms > from their source rpms. Also not obvious, but possible (at least with OpenPKG-CURRENT and the forthcoming 1.1): Use the release engineering scripts you find under http://www.openpkg.org/cvsweb/cvsweb.cgi/openpkg-re/. In particular what you need us the src2make.pl script which is given the source RPMs. It generates a Makefile which allows you to build the corresponding binary RPMs. Ralf S.
