Re: problem using rpm -ba with redhat fedora

You would need to use rpmbuild instead of rpm with the same options. That
should get you going. rpmbuild is contained in rpm-build package which is
already installed on your machine.

Subject: problem using rpm -ba with redhat fedora


| Hello,
|
| I have a RedHat Fedora version installed  and i am trying to build a
| package with the "rpm" command" but I get the following error :
|     # rpm -ba test.spec
|     -ba: option iconnue
|             (means "unknown option" in english)
|
| It looks like rpm does not know how to make a package.
| Does anyone know something about this error ?
|
| The following packages are installed on the station :
| # rpm -q -a | grep -i rpm
| rpm-python-4.3.1-0.3

| rpm-devel-4.3.1-0.3
| redhat-java-rpm-scripts-1.0.3-2
| rpm-build-4.3.1-0.3
