Declare dependencies in a makefile?

[Erich Beyrent]

I'm new to packaging and fpm.  I have some openldap conf files, schemas, and an ldif that I want to package up, and I've written a Makefile to do the installation of those files.  I also want to declare openldap as a dependency on my new rpm.  Is there a way to declare this in the Makefile so that fpm picks that up, or is the --depends command line option the only way to do this?

I'm not totally sure I understand the question.

The only way to tell fpm about dependencies is with the --depends flag. You can declare anything you want in your Makefile and pass it to fpm. Does this answer it?

Yes and no.  Here's the command:

 /usr/bin/fpm -s dir -t rpm \
        --name fen-ldap \
        --version 0.1 \
        --after-install after-install.sh \
        --config-files etc/openldap/slapd.conf \
        --config-files etc/openldap/schema/fen.schema \
        --architecture all \
        --depends "openldap" \
        etc/openldap/slapd.conf etc/openldap/schema/fen.schema DB_CONFIG \
        after-install.sh


When I try to install this rpm via yum, I don't see the dependency listed:
