I'm trying to build my first RPM, but getting an error. My .rpmmarcos files looks like this:
%packager Your Name
%_topdir /home/snort/test
%_tmppath /home/snort/test/tmp
%_smp_mflags -j3
%__arch_install_post /usr/lib/rpm/check-rpaths /usr/lib/rpm/check-buildroot
When I run: "rpmbuild -v -bb SPECS/test.spec" I receive this error:
+ STATUS=0
+ '[' 0 -ne 0 ']'
+ cd test-1
/home/snort/test/tmp/rpm-tmp.55712: line 36: cd: test-1: No such file or directory
error: Bad exit status from /home/snort/test/tmp/rpm-tmp.55712 (%prep)
File rpm-tmp.55712 ends with this:
cd '/home/snort/test/BUILD'
rm -rf 'test-1'
/bin/gzip -dc '/home/snort/test/SOURCES/test-1.c55.tar.gz' | tar -xvvf -
STATUS=$?
if [ $STATUS -ne 0 ]; then
exit $STATUS
fi
cd 'test-1'
I'm guessing rpmbuild does the "rm -rf 'test-1'" to remove any old/un-needed directories, then it untar's the test-1.c55.tar.gz file, then tries to "cd test-1" but the untar command doesn't make the directory so the scripts errors out. I'm not sure what to do now.
My spec file: more SPECS/test.spec

This is just a test

%prep
%setup BUILD
%build<br>
%configure<br>
make %{?_smp_mflags}<br>
%install<br>
rm -rf $RPM_BUILD_ROOT<br>
make install DESTDIR=$RPM_BUILD_ROOT
<br>
%clean<br>
rm -rf $RPM_BUILD_ROOT<br>
%files
%defattr(-,root,root,-)

Any ideas?
Thanks for the Help

Answer
RPM (or, to be exact, %setup macro) expects your source tarbal test-1.c55.... to contain the directory test-1.
If the directory there is different, you can fix that by using
%setup -n yourdir
See http://www.rpm.org/max-rpm/s1-rpm-inside-macros.html for more details.
