rebuilding rpm SRPM on RISC-V Linux

[Billa Surendra]

Dear All,

I am trying to rebuild rpm-4.17.0-1 SRPM in my RISC-V Linux distro. I am rebuilding with rpmbuild -ba rpm.spec command. The rebuilding went fine for some time, after that it gave an error.

Error:

RPM build errors:
    Could not canonicalize hostname: C-DAC
    Bad exit status from /usr/var/tmp/rpm-tmp.HY1ivj (%build)

Can anyone please suggest to me where I am doing wrong?. I have understood that problem with GCC but I am not sure what I have to do.

Thanks

The relevant rpm macro may not exist and needs to be checked. The following command may help:
rpm --eval=%{_hardened_ldflags}
grep -rn "hardened_ldflags" /usr/lib/rpm

it looks like you need to adapt rpm to your platform.

yeah maybe thats not enough. See the error

Could not canonicalize hostname: C-DAC

This need to be fed into it somehow. I dont know much about how rpm
configurations work off hand but you can try to find,

This %{...} should have been expanded by rpm into something interesting.   See the redhat-rpm-config file which adds this to build_ldflags, and then later defines it to add some options and the redhat-hardened-ld file.  You should look into why rpm didn't expand this.  It could be a problem with the config file, or rpm, or some random utility like awk/sed/m4 that rpm is using to process config files.  Maybe rpm has some debugging or verbose options you can enable to try to see what is happening inside rpm?

RPM build errors:
    Could not canonicalize hostname: C-DAC
    Bad exit status from /usr/var/tmp/rpm-tmp.HY1ivj (%build)

The second one is obviously a cascading error from above.  For the first one, I would guess that rpm tried to generate a fully qualified host name and failed.  Not unusual on a lab machine or home machine.  I don't know if that is important.  The build failure with hardened_ldflags seems more important.
