Then untar the binaries in the %prep section, skip the %build section, copy the binaries to $RPM_BUILD_ROOT in the %install section, and list them in the %files section. Do whatever you need to in the pre/post scripts. You should only do this if you really don't have the sources. If you do have the sources, there are a lot of advantages to doing things the "right" way. -- Bart Whiteley <bwhiteley@xxxxxxxxxx> Novell, Inc. _______________________________________________ Rpm-list mailing list Rpm-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/rpm-list
