hi

how do you pass vars to rpmbuild for definition? eg

rpmbuild --define \'"${_definition2}"\'

I've been fiddling with ways to escape, but none is fricking working..
I mean, rpmbuild rushes to work(no errors nor failure) so if you try just the command line do not believe it, because later as it executes %if you will see process does not see these definitions.

many thanks, L

I'm not sure what you are trying to define above.

Normal convention where one wishes to define _foobar as "foo" for example would be:

rpmbuild --define '_foobar foo'

or generically

rpmbuild --define 'SomeVariable SomeValue'

Hope that helps

Try to pass bash var to rpmbuild, eg:

$ _def1="_me no"
$ rpmbuild --define ${_def1}



I assume you are doing this in a bash script?

${_def1} may need to be quoted as it contains a space.

But for that I would do the following to make it more readable:

ME="no"
rpmbuild --define '_me ${ME}'


or if ${ME} contains spaces:

rpmbuild --define '_me "${ME}"'
