Ok.
I experienced theese errors (2) with macros:
1) rpm --rebuild kernel-2.4.17.13mdk-1-1mdk.src.rpm
Installing kernel-2.4.17.13mdk-1-1mdk.src.rpm
error: parse error in expression
error: /usr/src/RPM/SPECS/kernel-2.4.spec:1229: parseExpressionBoolean
returns -1
I commented the spec as follow:
1229 #%if %build_BOOT
1230 #CreateKernel BOOT
1231 #%endif
and then the error was:
rpm -bb ../SPECS/kernel-2.4.spec
error: parse error in expression
error: /usr/src/RPM/SPECS/kernel-2.4.spec:1632: parseExpressionBoolean
returns -1
and I commented the following lines:
1632 %if %build_BOOT
1633 %files -n kernel-BOOT-%{mdkversion}
1634 %defattr(-,root,root)
1635 %{_bootdir}/config-%{KVERREL}BOOT
1636 %{_bootdir}/vmlinuz-%{KVERREL}BOOT
1637 %{_bootdir}/System.map-%{KVERREL}BOOT
1638 %dir %{_modulesdir}/%{KVERREL}BOOT/
1639 %{_modulesdir}/%{KVERREL}BOOT/kernel
1640 %{_modulesdir}/%{KVERREL}BOOT/build
1641 %{_modulesdir}/%{KVERREL}BOOT/pcmcia
1642 %{_modulesdir}/%{KVERREL}BOOT/modules.*
1643 %endif
This happens with
build BOOT 0
and
build BOOT 1
2) Then I experienced a dependency error.
This happens with
build doc 1
The compilation starts and goes on without errors
but when it is near to finish (and the macro begin to tar the *.ps
files) an error occurs and the compilation is aborted.
I cannot remember what program was missed, but it was from
sgml-tools.
The *ps files were not created (because sgml-tools were not installed),
and so the macro failed.
I suppose it is necessary to include a build require: sgml-tools.
Theese are my 'few hacks' to make the src.rpm working.
Best regards,
Miguel Beccari
