Well, not right away it won 't.
I looked in /usr/src/linux-2.4, where the source code is, and there is a
"kernel.spec " file there. I copied this to match the custom name:
cp kernel.spec kernel-2.4.209custom.spec
Then I ran the command:
[root@(protected) linux-2.4]# rpmbuild -ba kernel-2.4.209custom.spec
error: File /usr/src/redhat/SOURCES/kernel-2.4.209custom.tar.gz: No such
file or directory
[root@(protected) linux-2.4]#
Looking in the .spec file, I find no mention of SOURCES. "info
rpmbuild " doesn 't address this in any way that makes sense to me, so I
have to ask, what should I do about this? How does the tgz kernel file
get into SOURCES, or what else is supposed to happen?
I attached the .spec file in case there 's anything in there that 's
relevant.
Thanks,
Bret
