[SOLVED] - rpmbuild error

[warron.french]

The following is my firefox.spec file for building a custom RPM for the installation of Firefox v67.0.2 into a different directory - /opt/firefox67.

Code: Select all

Name:          firefox67
Version:       67.0.2
Release:       4.0.0%{?dist}.custom1
Summary:       Custom Firefox
Group:         Applications/Internet

License:       MPL v2.0
URL:           https://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/firefox/releases/67.0.2/linux-x86_64/en-US/
Source0:       firefox67-67.0.2.tar.xz

BuildRoot: %{_tmppath}/%{name}-buildroot
ExclusiveArch: x86_64

%description
This is a custom build that uses the firefox binaries directly from Mozilla.org out of the archive (tar.bz2) of already-compiled binaries;
  however, it enables the usage of legacy SSL cipher suites and protocols.

%prep
%setup -q


%install
rm -rf "$RPM_BUILD_ROOT"
cp -R * "$RPM_BUILD_ROOT"

- Initial RPM Release from lab using the shell script.

I get the following error/output during the execution of an rpmbuild -v -ba that is executed by my script; in which the intent is the ability to be able to create consistently a Custom Firefox## RPM anytime my organization requires, and so that it is easy to do quickly/

Here is the error/output:

RPM build errors:
    File not found: /home/build/rpmbuild/BUILDROOT/firefox67-67.0.2-4.0.0.el7.custom1.x86_64/opt/firefox67

The interesting thing is that the opt directory DOES INDEED exist under /home/build/rpmbuild/BUILD/firefox67-67.0.2.
Proof:

Code: Select all

[build@wfrench-rh7build:firefox67-67.0.2]$ ls -l /home/build/rpmbuild/BUILD/firefox67-67.0.2
total 0
drwxr-xr-x. 3 build build 23 Jun 24 18:29 opt

I don't know why this is happening. Can I get some guidance on how to root out this problem or script around it. Like I said, opt, does exist under /home/build/rpmbuild/BUILD/firefox67-67.0.2, and if I attempt a manual copy of the directory from the BUILD directory over to the /home/build/rpmbuild/BUILDROOT/firefox67-67.0.2-4.0.0.el7.custom1.x86_64/ directory it succeeds.

Thank you for any correction/help in advance,

Code: Select all

rm -rf "$RPM_BUILD_ROOT"
cp -R * "$RPM_BUILD_ROOT"

So there you remove the directory and then copy into it. Perhaps you need to create it again after rm'ing it.

Thanks TrevorH, hashing out that line and trying again got rid of that error and presented the next one, which was easy to overcome.

It usually isn't a problem for me.

I got that snippet by following UrbanPenguin's HOWTO on Youtube.com. I don't really understand why he is doing it; and it never caused me a problem before with the other RPMs I was creating.

Anyway, thanks again.

On this, I finally figured out where I went wrong.

What I did put before was:

Code: Select all

rm -rf "$RPM_BUILD_ROOT"
cp -R * "$RPM_BUILD_ROOT"

What the correct syntax was supposed to be, is|was:

Code: Select all

mkdir -p "$RPM_BUILD_ROOT"
cp -R * "$RPM_BUILD_ROOT"

It's fine to rm the build root before you start but if you do that and then cp into it, it has to exist so you have to rm/mkdir/cp
