I found the problem to my problem:
I used an Windows scp program to transfer the spec file down to the
server. It was set to automatic transfer type which defaulted to binary
for the spec files. I forced the scp transfer to ASCII and it left out
the ^M which must have been put in when I transferred using binary.

Subject: rpmbuild macro problem
I am running rpmbuild version 4.2.3 and trying to build and RPM from a
spec file . When I run rpmbuild -ba foo.spec the process stops at:
+ STATUS=0
+ '[' 0 -ne 0 ']'
+ cd fftw-2.1.3
+ $'\r'
: command not found885: line 30:
error: Bad exit status from /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.87885 (%prep)
RPM build errors:
Bad exit status from /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.87885 (%prep)
I checked the /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.87885 with vi and it is placing a
visible ^M at here:
if [ $STATUS -ne 0 ]; then
exit $STATUS
fi
cd fftw-2.1.3
^M
I ran sh -x rpm-tmp.87885 and it fails. The shell is evidently trying to
interpret the ^M as a command and fails. I removed the ^M and ran sh -x
rpm-tmp.87885 and it succeeds.
Why the macro putting a ^M in my macro file?
