Hi !
Thanks for the patch. From Flavio's email which said:
"Usually the rpmbuild topdir is /usr/src/<something> but it can be changed
by a custom .rpmmacro file defining %_topdir.
Yours seems to be at /root/rpmbuild. That's your rpm build directory. On
top of it, you should have SPECS/ and SOURCES/. So, copy the tarball to
/root/rpmbuild/SOURCES/ instead and run the rpmbuild command again. The
result should be in /root/rpmbuild/RPMS."
I gave these commands & I'm still stuck ...
The command sequence i gave was:
[root@node5 rpmbuild]# ls -l
total 24
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Jun 30 10:28 BUILD
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Jun 30 10:28 BUILDROOT
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Jun 30 10:28 RPMS
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Jun 30 10:28 SOURCES
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Jun 30 10:28 SPECS
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Jun 30 10:28 SRPMS
[root@node5 rpmbuild]# mv /usr/src/openvswitch-1.9.3
/root/rpmbuild/SOURCES/
[root@node5 rpmbuild]# cd SOURCES
[root@node5 SOURCES]# ls -l
total 4
drwxrwxr-x 17 1000 1000 4096 Sep 5 2013 openvswitch-1.9.3
[root@node5 SOURCES]# rpmbuild -bb rhel/openvswitch-kmod-rhel6.spec
error: failed to stat
/root/rpmbuild/SOURCES/rhel/openvswitch-kmod-rhel6.spec: No such file
or directory
[root@node5
SOURCES]# cd ..
[root@node5 rpmbuild]# cd ..
[root@node5 ~]# rpmbuild -bb rhel/openvswitch-kmod-rhel6.spec
error: failed to stat /root/rhel/openvswitch-kmod-rhel6.spec: No such
file or directory
Kindly note since the patch says: Unpack the distribution tarball into
a temporary directory and "cd" into the root of the distribution
tarball.
it means i got to "cd" into # since i put the unpacked tarball inside
SOURCES and run rpmbuild -bb from # right?
I have this feeling that im probably running rpmbuild -bb while being
in the wrong directory.
Where did i go wrong???
Best Wishes & Thanks again
