Circa 2005-07-15 dixit Robert P. J. Day:
:
: i'm experimenting with rebuilding "lftp" from the src rpm file, and
: i was curious to see the Makefile generated from the configure step in
: the spec file:
:
: %configure --with-modules --disable-static --with-ssl --with-debug
:
: i realize that rpmbuild doesn't have an option that lets me stop
: after the configure step without going on to the actual make. is
: there something that would be equivalent? i guess i can always just
: run the configure step manually in the BUILD directory, but it would
: have been nice to have an option to do the configure without going any
: farther. or am i just missing the obvious?
You're not missing the glaringly obvious; as others have pointed out,
there is no "%configure" stage between the "%prep" and "%build" stages.
You can, however, do something like the following:
____________________
%prep
# ...
%build
%configure --blah --haha --heehee
if [ x"${CONFIGURE_ONLY}" = x"yes" ]; then
echo "--> Exiting after configure at user's request..."
exit 42
fi
____________________
Then, build using something like:
____________________
env CONFIGURE_ONLY=yes rpmbuild -bc blah.spec
Some versions of RPM may clear out the environment; you may need to use
macros instead:
____________________
# ...
%{!?configure_only:%%define configure_only no}
# ...
%prep
# ...
%build
%configure --blah --haha --heehee
if [ x"%{configure_only}" = x"yes" ]; then
echo "--> Exiting after configure at user's request..."
exit 42
fi
____________________
Building would go something like this:
____________________
rpmbuild -bc --define='configure_only yes' blah.spec
