Yes, it's good to know that you're on CentOS which uses an
older version of rpm. That's not likely the issue here, but
it's sometimes the details which make all the difference.
More importantly, things we are still missing include:
- an example spec file (or at least the parts where you
define the macro and use them)
- the output you get (including the commands you run to
get them)
- how that differs from the output you expect.
I included a simplified spec file and commands which showed
the output when run. How does your spec file differ from
that example in the usage of the macros and %if statements?
We can help, but we need more information in order to do so.
I suspect that your issue is in how you're trying to create
and call the rpmbuild command from your shell script, which
is why you're showing so many levels of quoting.
But we shouldn't have to guess at this, you should provide
clear steps to demonstrate the issue, what the actual output
is, and what you expect it to be.
