Ye, the problem is that the installplatforms script changed between rpm-4.9 and rpm-4.10 so it worked fine on master (4.10) but on rpm-4.9 installplatform didn't detect ppc64p7 as a know arch and didn't autogenerate the platform dir and macro for it. Fixed it latest rpm-4.9.1.3-3.fc17 that was just built in Fedora. http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=4021759 Thanks & regards, Phil This still isn't quite right:
<mock-chroot>[root@ppc-composer ~]# rpm -q rpm
rpm-4.9.1.3-4.fc17.ppc64
<mock-chroot>[root@ppc-composer ~]# grep '%_lib' /usr/lib/rpm/platform/ppc64p7-linux/macros
%_libexecdir %{_exec_prefix}/libexec
%_lib lib
%_libdir %{_prefix}/lib
_lib and _libdir should be lib64.
Fixed in latest stable version for Fedora 17: http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=4049123 Thanks & regards, Phil |
Created attachment 580005 [details] /usr/lib/rpm/platform/ppc64p7-linux/macros Description of problem: When building some rpms with '--target=ppc64p7', rpmbuild will fail with: Processing files: sendmail-sysvinit-8.14.5-12.fc17.noarch error: File must begin with "/": %{_initrddir}/sendmail It looks like that macro is defined in /usr/lib/rpm/platform/$CPU-$OS/macros. There is no ppc64p7-linux directory there. Copying ppc64-linux to ppc64p7-linux and s/ppc64/ppc64p7/ in the macros file fixes the rpmbuild problems and it appears that the proper optimizations are used as well. Attaching the /usr/lib/rpm/platform/ppc64p7-linux/macros I used in my single test.
