Hi, Did you by chance copy & paste the command from the wiki? If so, I have seen some strange SCII character conversions happen that way. so, I'd suggest trying to retype the whole command manually the way the option is shown in the man page for rpmbuild.
Cause when I type your command manually, I get what I would expect: rpmbuild -ba --target=i686 dovecot.spec Building target platforms: i686 Building for target i686 error: failed to stat /root/dovecot.spec: No such file or directory When I copy & paste what the text command from your mail, I get the wrong: rpmbuild –ba --target=i686 dovecot.spec Building target platforms: i686 Building for target i686 error: failed to stat /root/–ba: No such file or directory So, there must be a difference in the character you use.
