Ok,
I you ever want to specifiy your own private build directory
Here is what your .rmpmacros file should contain for installing and building under the base directory of /home/user/redhat
One has to set the /usr, /var and /buildroot to the correct values.
Do not set topdir, because it is set from the %_usr tag %buildroot needs to be set to the correct value relative to /var and /usr
#
%buildroot /home/userid/redhat/var/tmp
%_usr /home/userid/redhat/usr
%_usrsrc %{_usr}/src
%_var /home/userid/redhat/varSo now when the rpmbuild command
rpmbuild --rebuild basesystem-8.0-2.src.rpm
Installing basesystem-8.0-2.src.rpm
Processing files: basesystem-8.0-2
