Description Milan Kerslager 2000-11-07 23:33:09 UTC 
RPM silently ignore the BuildPrereq statement in the SPEC file. I used rpm
-ba command.
The build process then fail by unresolved building dependencies.
Comment 1 Jeff Johnson 2000-11-08 13:13:28 UTC 
Add "--nodeps" to the build arguments if you wish to disable build dependency
checking.
Comment 2 Milan Kerslager 2000-11-08 13:33:07 UTC 
No, rpm *ignore* BuildPrereq: dependencies in SPEC file so when rebulding
packages the is no message about unresolved dependencies and compilation thus
fail (because there are no packages required by SPEC file in the system and rpm
did not inform about this unresolved dependencies). Simply BuildPrereq: do
nothing. I can write whatever here with no effect.
Comment 3 Jeff Johnson 2000-11-12 19:54:19 UTC 
Is your BuildPreReq: in the spec file preamble (i.e. near the top of the spec
file with other
tags?)

FWIW, I use BuildPreReq:'s routinely, and they "work for me" ...
