Re: FW: FW: What does %target_check do?

[Mark Hatle <fray@xxxxxxxxxx>]

%target_check is a MontaVista macro then ensures that the user specified
"--target=<arch>-linux" on the rpm command line _AND_ that all of the
target macros were loaded properly.

This is used to ensure when building a target package (one that may be
cross compiled) that the environment is properly configured.

Many of the links at rpm.org are broken, neither place (rpm.org nor the book) reference rpmbuild, and I have only just found "%_topdir <path>" discussed in the Guru Labs document.  This latter place was the only place I found that helped me figure out how to build without being a root user.
