Hi, Ok, I guess I got my vocabulary wrong. In my spec file, I want to do some scripting in the %post macro. However, nothing is being returned to me for the value of $RPM_BUILD_DIR (or anything else, for that matter), so I'm not able to locate the build files. When I try to install the RPM I built, I get a "no such file or directory" error due to (for example) something like this: %post do_something $RPM_BUILD_DIR/some_file Cheers, David On Mon, 2006-08-07 at 09:17 +0200, Jos Vos wrote: > On Mon, Aug 07, 2006 at 04:05:57PM +0900, David Leangen wrote: > > > According to the documentation I read, environment variables such as > > $RPM_BUILD_DIR should be available to me during the %pre and %post parts > > of my build. > > What are "%pre" and "%post" parts of the build?
