I just skimmed through the man page for rpmbuild and --macros is not an
option, atleast not on RHEL5 or Fedora8. I dont have access to one of my
newer boxes to check otherwise at the moment. I also did not see a way of
accessing a file other than the standard ones.
Macro Configuration Files from man page
/usr/lib/rpm/macros
/usr/lib/rpm/redhat/macros
/etc/rpm/macros
~/.rpmmacros
If you have a specific set of macros per spec/project you could create a
Makefile. Here is a small example of one of mine.
PACKAGE := $(shell basename *.spec .spec)
RPMBUILD = rpmbuild --define "_topdir %(pwd)/rpm-build" \
--define "_builddir %{_topdir}" \
--define "_rpmdir %(pwd)/rpms" \
--define "_srcrpmdir %{_rpmdir}" \
--define "_sourcedir %{_topdir}"
all: rpms
clean:
-rm -rf dist/ build/
-rm -rf *~
-rm -rf rpm-build/ rpms/
build: clean
python setup.py build -f
sdist:
python setup.py sdist
prep_rpmbuild: build sdist
mkdir -p rpm-build
mkdir -p rpms
cp dist/*.gz rpm-build/
rpms: prep_rpmbuild
${RPMBUILD} -ba ${PACKAGE}.spec
srpm: prep_rpmbuild
${RPMBUILD} -bs ${PACKAGE}.spec
All of those indents should be tabs. Then you would just go into that
directory and type `make` and you would get your rpms. This is for a
distutils/setuptools oriented python package, but the concept would hold.
just a thought.
