(sorry for the barrage of questions - and thanks for the answers) I've got a macros file that I'd like rpmbuild to use. It seems that rpmbuild 4.4.2.3 is ignoring the --macros switch. If I $ rpmbuild -qa --macros=mymacros myapp.spec it attempts to build below /usr/src/redhat/BUILD If I $ ln -s $(pwd)/mymacros ~/.rpmmacros $ rpmbuild -qa myapp.spec I get the behaviour I'm expecting. I'd prefer not to have a ~/.rpmmacros and assumed that naming a macros file using the --macros switch would be alternative. What am I missing? Thanks again. -- Andy Armstrong, Hexten _______________________________________________ Rpm-list mailing list Rpm-list@xxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.rpm.org/mailman/listinfo/rpm-list
