I noticed rpmbuild (-bb and --buildroot options) creates the .rpm in different locations depending of what OS are you using:
So how can I set manually the destination folder for all OS?
Replying myself, adding:
%define _rpmdir /outputdir
to .spec file.
You may want to use the command argument --define : For example, this will send the rpm files into the current directory.
rpmbuild anything.spec --bb --define "_rpmdir $(pwd)"
This will send the rpmsto output dir
rpmbuild anything.spec --bb --define "_rpmdir /outputdir"
Or perhaps something more complicated such as Custom gradle task for rpmbuild .
Setting up the rpmbuild environment in /home/ http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-software-2/need-rpm-package-for-php-version-5-2-7-and-up-on-redhat-5-1-a-766486/#13
Actually it is not recommended to use /usr/src/**. I.e. by using /home/[name]/rpms/ you can work as unprivileged user. No su or sudo is required to build packages.
Just a tiny comment.. adding "%define _rpmdir /outputdir" to spec file is also support by rpmbuild in AIX OS
For me the solution was to set _topdir to a subdirectory called rpmbuild inside my project. I also set a few macros, to control the .rpm path:
rpm:
rpmbuild -bb package.spec -D "_topdir $(shell pwd)/rpmbuild" -D "SRC $(shell pwd)" -D "NAME $(NAME)" -D "ARCH $(ARCH)" -D "VERSION $(VERSION)" -D "RELEASE $(RELEASE)"
mv rpmbuild/RPMS/$(ARCH)/$(NAME)-$(VERSION)-$(RELEASE).$(ARCH).rpm ./
rm -rf rpmbuild
Then I use make to generate the .rpm file and move it. I prefer rpmbuild to operate inside its directory.
make rpm
package.spec is using these macros, e.g.
Name: %{NAME_PACKAGE}
