Cannot create RPM package

Question

I'm trying to create RPM spec file. Unfortunately I can't find how to fix this issue.

I created the rpm build directories using the command rpmdev-setuptree and I created simple spec file. I placed the source file under SOURCES/test-one-1.0.tar.gz

This is the spec file:

Name:           test
Version:        1.0
Release:        1%{?dist}
Summary:        test installation script

Group:          Utilities
License:        GPL
URL:            http://oracle-base.com/articles/linux/linux-build-simple-rpm-packages.php
Source0:        test-one-1.0.tar.gz
BuildArch:      noarch
BuildRoot:      %{_tmppath}/%{name}-%{version}-%{release}-root-%(%{__id_u} -n)

#BuildRequires:  
#Requires:       

%description
test installation script

%prep
%setup -q


%build
%configure
make %{?_smp_mflags}


%install
rm -rf $RPM_BUILD_ROOT
make install DESTDIR=$RPM_BUILD_ROOT

#install -d $RPM_BUILD_ROOT/opt/mytest


%clean
rm -rf $RPM_BUILD_ROOT


%files
%dir /opt/mytest
%defattr(-,root,root,-)
%doc



%changelog

When I run the command rpmbuild -bb -v rpm/SPECS/kernel.spec

I get this output:

[user@laptop ~]$ rpmbuild -bb -v rpm/SPECS/kernel.spec

RPM build errors:

Can you help me to fix this issue?

Answer 1

%setup assumes that extracting the source creates a directory with the same name as %name . If this is not the case then you should use the -n argument to specify an alternate directory name.
