Hi,

is there a possibility to create a "noarch" package from information
within the spec file?

I know that you can build such a package using the command-line switch
"--buildarch noarch", but I would like to specify this in the package
spec file itself.

Thanks,
Uwe.

This results in:

No buildable architectures

BTW, I am using rpm-2.5.

Hi,

I have tried the following combinations:

Specfile Result of running rpm -ba <specfile>
--------------------------------------------------------------------
BuildArchs: noarch line 42: Unknown tag: BuildArchs: noarch
BuildArch: noarch No buildable architectures
BuildArchitectures: noarch No buildable architectures
BuildArchitecture: noarch line 42: Unknown tag: BuildArchitecture:
noarch

It seems that BuildArch and BuildArchitectures are recognized somehow,
but do not lead to the expected result. Is this a bug?

Thanks,
Uwe.

What platform are you building on? Make sure that /usr/lib/rpm/rpmrc has a
buildarch_compat line for your architecture that includes noarch.

"buildarch_compat: usparc: noarch" in ~/.rpmrc solved the problem for
rpm-2.5.
BTW, looking to rpm-3.0.2 usparc no longer seems to exist, I guess
sparc64 was introduced instead of.

Thanks to all who have sent me hints,
Uwe.
