I suggest starting over, install rpmdevtools, use: rpmdev-newspec -t minimal smipmicfg It will create a file smipmicfg.spec, and it will be fully populated with a mimimal spec file. You can probably just remove the %build section entirely, and just use the %install section to extract the contents of the tarball (or just create the dir and copy %{SOURCE0} to %buildroot/opt/smipmicfg-1.20.0 if it's just one file and not a tarball). It sounds like most of the problems you're having is that you've got a fragment of a SPEC file and not the whole thing. Don't build as root, let it build in your homedir (or use mock, but lets leave that until you've got a basic RPM building). There's absolutely no reason you should be building RPMs as root. -- Jonathan Billings <billings@xxxxxxxxxx> _______________________________________________ CentOS mailing list CentOS@xxxxxxxxxx https://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
