rpmbuild --rcfile does not recognize entries in rpmrc file

[Isabelle Poueriet]

Hello, can anyone help here? Thanks in advance.

slughorn#rpm --rcfile ./rpmrc --showrc returns:

error: bad option 'vendor' at linux/pkg/rpmrc:1
error: bad option 'sourcedir' at linux/pkg/rpmrc:2
error: bad option 'rpmdir' at linux/pkg/rpmrc:3

slughorn#cat ./rpmrc
vendor:XYZ
sourcedir:/usr/src/packages/SOURCES
rpmdir:/usr/src/packages/RPMS/5.5.0.0

I can recreate this problem in any of the following environments:

rpm versions:
3.0.6-127
4.1.1-177
4.3.3-22

Linux vendors:
RHEL4, SLES7,SLES9,

Those aren't rpmrc entries. You're confusing rpmrc with macros.

Thanks Michael. I was following old docs.

I ended up using this format for my goal:

rpmbuild -ba --define "_topdir /usr/src/redhat/RPMS/5.5.0.0" <templatefileName>

We build various versions of the product on the same system and sometimes the rpms collide. So the above format works for us now ;-)
