BUILD ROOT
|
|
==========
|
|
|
|
The build root is very similar to Root: (which will be deprecated
|
|
soon). By using Buildroot: in your spec file you are indicating
|
|
that your package can be built (installed into and packaged from)
|
|
a user-definable directory. This helps package building by normal
|
|
users.
|
|
|
|
The Spec File
|
|
-------------
|
|
|
|
Simply use
|
|
|
|
Buildroot: <dir>
|
|
|
|
in your spec file. The acutal buildroot used by RPM during the
|
|
build will be available to you (and your %prep, %build, and %install
|
|
sections) as the environment variable RPM_BUILD_ROOT. You must
|
|
make sure that the files for the package are installed into the
|
|
proper buildroot. As with Root:, the files listed in the %files
|
|
section should *not* contain the buildroot. For example, the
|
|
following hypothetical spec file:
|
|
|
|
Name: foo
|
|
...
|
|
Root: /tmp
|
|
|
|
%prep
|
|
...
|
|
|
|
%build
|
|
...
|
|
|
|
%install
|
|
install -m755 fooprog /tmp/usr/bin/fooprog
|
|
|
|
%files
|
|
/usr/bin/fooprog
|
|
|
|
would be changed to:
|
|
|
|
Name: foo
|
|
...
|
|
Buildroot: /tmp
|
|
|
|
%prep
|
|
...
|
|
|
|
%build
|
|
...
|
|
|
|
%install
|
|
install -m755 fooprog $RPM_BUILD_ROOT/usr/bin/fooprog
|
|
|
|
%files
|
|
/usr/bin/fooprog
|
|
|
|
Building With a Build Root
|
|
--------------------------
|
|
|
|
RPM will use the buildroot listed in the spec file as the default
|
|
buildroot. There are two ways to override this. First, you can
|
|
have "buildroot: <dir>" in your rpmrc. Second, you can override
|
|
the default, and any entry in an rpmrc by using "--buildroot <dir>"
|
|
on the RPM command line.
