I'm trying to build an RPM from binaries on a REDHAT 6 system. I have all the files included in the %files
section (find /path/to/fake/install -type f >> specfile
)
When I run rpmbuild -bb specfile --target x86_64
I get
Checking for unpackaged file(s): /usr/lib/rpm/check-files /path/to/rpmbuild/BUILDROOT/Package-1.0.0-1.el6.x86_64
error: Installed (but unpackaged) file(s) found:
RPM build errors:
Installed (but unpackaged) file(s) found:
Note that no files are listed in the error message. I'm not sure what's wrong, any ideas?
You can ignore these kind of errors by using
%define _unpackaged_files_terminate_build 0

I would guess your /path/to/fake/install is not correct.
The path in the %files
section must be the path where the files will eventually be installed, e.g. /usr/local/bin/myprog
. During the rpm build, in the %build
section you need to make sure you put the files to the very same place you specify in the %files
section, or you use the buildroot
option of rpmbuild
and use $RPM_BUILD_ROOT
variable in your spec file with a sub-path matching the %files
list, in this example $RPM_BUILD_ROOT/usr/local/bin/myprog
. See http://www.rpm.org/max-rpm-snapshot/ch-rpm-anywhere.html for details.
