I've never had to add a patch to a SPEC file before and I can't seem to make it work. The patch is to make a modification to the Makefile. I created the patch (diff -u) and put that in my SOURCES directory. I included the Patch0: line and then called the patch in %prep using %patch0 (no switches). When I run rpmbuild I get the following: [user@system rpmbuild]$ rpmbuild -ba SPECS/gpredict.spec Executing(%prep): /bin/sh -e /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.ILyyD6 + umask 022 + cd /home/user/rpmbuild/BUILD + LANG=C + export LANG + unset DISPLAY + cd /home/user/rpmbuild/BUILD + rm -rf gpredict-1.2 + /usr/bin/gzip -dc /home/user/rpmbuild/SOURCES/gpredict-1.2.tar.gz + /bin/tar -xf - + STATUS=0 + '[' 0 -ne 0 ']' + cd gpredict-1.2 + /bin/chmod -Rf a+rX,u+w,g-w,o-w . + echo 'Patch #0 (gpredict-1.2-DSO.patch):' Patch #0 (gpredict-1.2-DSO.patch): + /bin/cat /home/user/rpmbuild/SOURCES/gpredict-1.2-DSO.patch + /usr/bin/patch -s -p0 --fuzz=0 The text leading up to this was: -------------------------- |--- Makefile 2010-11-15 20:07:20.676418835 -0500 |+++ Makefile 2010-11-15 21:35:53.803407014 -0500 -------------------------- File to patch: It appears to not find Makefile. Most likely I'm just failing to do something correctly here. Can someone point me in the proper direction?
