Openbox-Menu: rpmbuild doesn't write RPM???

[KDulcimer]

This issue has me totally befuddled. For the life of me, I cannot figure out why rpmbuild totally skips the part where the RPM is actually written. This is the output I'm getting, I kid you not:

Code:

[k@localhost packages]$ sudo bldpkg openbox-menu

What happens when you build it manually?

The script was changed very recently to not use .rpmmacros.  Maybe this is the issue?  Did you try to clean up the BUILD area manually?

[KDulcimer]

Building it manually gets the same results. Using rpmbuild -ba writes the SRPM but not the RPM.

The BUILD and BUILDROOT directories are clean.

[gettinther]

I'll try at home this evening to see if I can replicate the problem.

[Stumpy]

%__install 0755 $RPM_BUILD_DIR/%{name}/%(name}

There is a typo in that above, an open paren instead of an open curly brace,
also you are missing the -m in front of 0755

But you can do the same thing with one command instead of doing mkdir, just do this:

%__install -m0755 -D %name %{buildroot}%{_sysconfdir}/menu.d/%name

Just to make sure the bases are covered, what version of RPM do you have installed? A while ago I built a test version of rpm-5.2 from a November CVS snapshot and it has some problems, including the one where final rpms would not actually be written out. I don't believe that was ever placed in the Test channel (at least I know I didn't - I left it in incoming_rpms).

Please post the output of

Code:

rpm -qa |grep rpm

[KDulcimer]

Yep, sure enough:

rpm-5.2.1-0.20090723.3-unity2009

[gri6507]

Yep, sure enough:

rpm-5.2.1-0.20090723.3-unity2009

You have the correct (old) version. So something else must be going on on your machine.

Nothing that using the correct syntax won't fix, as per my first post above...

Here's what I found when trying this app.

Apart from Stumpy's corrections, I found the following items.

First of all the make process creates an executable "openbox-menu", which is fine.

Your install command is what is creating the issue.  It doesn't copy anything so the package is empty and as such is not created.

Stumpy's command takes care of that point.

However one interesting point is that even if the %file section isn't completed, the rpm builds fine.
All I had in the %file section is

%files
%defattr(-,root,root,-)

so it ended up:

%build
%make

%install
%__install -m0755 -D %name %{buildroot}%{_sysconfdir}/menu.d/%name


%post
%update_menus

%postun
%update_menus

%files
%defattr(-,root,root,-)
