RPM Package building

harish.patel · 12-23-2008, 01:09 AM

Hi,
I am working on RHEL4 linux system.
I am facing one problem with rpm package building. I have one static library.This static library is linked with other dynamic libraries.
This static & dynamic libraries are within one package. When it is installed in /usr/lib path & discarding all symbols using strip linux utility. At that time, strip command gives error for multiple strip of static library.
I use following command to build rpm package.

#rpmbuild -ba <PackageName>.spec
Log of rpm package building is mention below.

Plese give me right solution for that.
How can I solve this problem & make one rpm package.

Either re-defining the "__os_install_post" macro as

Code:

%define __os_install_post    \
    /usr/lib/rpm/brp-compress \
%{nil}

in the top of your .spec file or exporting "DONT_STRIP=1" in the %install section should work.
