Hi, can anyone help me building rpms when the _topdir path name contains whitespace? example command: > rpmbuild -ba --define '_topdir /home/fs/eg g/build/bdist.linux-x86_64/rpm' --clean build/bdist.linux-x86_64/rpm/SPECS/texttemplate.spec
You might try '_topdir "/home/fs/eg g/build/bdist.linux-x86_64/rpm"' as your definition. Basically I just added quoting around the definition value. This may fail miserably, as this is just a guess. As for why you are having issues, well you only defining a macro, and the interpreter knows nothing of macro expansions such that when it goes to interpret the line it sees where _topdir was expanded two words, not one. Adding the quotes yourself might fix this. That said perhaps the macros using _topdir could quote things. How about filing a bug report at bugzilla.redhat.com.
