In the package that I'm building, there are symbolic links within the Buildroot directory. For instance this:
/home/sg/impkg/buildroot/dir1/bin/w_be -> /home/sg/impkg/buildroot/dir2/targ/be
This is making rpmbuild to fail with the error:
RPM build errors:
Symlink points to BuildRoot:
/home/sg/impkg/buildroot/dir1/bin/w_be -> /home/sg/impkg/buildroot/dir2/targ/be
In my %files section, I have only included the buildroot directory, which is what I want. Following is a snippet from my spec-file:
Summary: research compiler tool set
License: GPL
Name: %{name}
Version: %{version}
Release: %{release}
Source: %{name}-%{version}.tar.gz
Prefix: /usr
Group: Development/Tools
Autoreq: 0
Autoprov: 0
%description
research compiler tool set
%prep
%setup -q
%build
rm -rf %{buildroot}/%{name}-%{version}
mkdir %{buildroot}/%{name}-%{version}
cd %{buildroot}/%{name}-%{version} && %{_builddir}/%{name}-%{version}/./configure -- prefix=%{buildroot}/%{name}-%{version}
make %{?_smp_mflags} -C %{buildroot}/%{name}-%{version}
%install
cd %{buildroot}/%{name}-%{version} && make DESTDIR=%{buildroot}/%{name}-%{version} install
%clean
rm -rf %{buildroot}/%{name}-%{version}
%files
%defattr(755,-,-)
/%{name}-%{version}
I have to adhere to the logic, which means I cannot remove these links from the Makefiles...how do I solve this problem and generate the RPM?
