I built an rpm
about 4 years ago on RedHat AS 2.1 (rpm 4.0.4) of an application that
included its own perl bundled with it. The automatic dependency checking
of rpm found a handful of perl dependencies/prerequisites that it didn't think
were covered by the package. I was able to suppress this checking by
including this in the .spec file:
%define __find_requires %{nil}
I started running
into similar behavior building on RedHat AS 3 (rpm 4.2.3) about a year ago and
found that the macro no longer suppresses the pre-req checking, at least not
fully. I kludged it by adding a "Provides:" line in the .spec file to
explicitly provide the couple of things that rpm said were missing when I tried
to install it. I tried defining the additional macro:
%define __perl_requires
%{nil}
but it didn't seem
to have any effect. What is the right way to tell the .spec file and
rpmbuild not to look for prerequisites, that everything the package needs is
included in the %files?
Thanks in
advance!
