[SOLVED] [RPM Build] How to set IF-condition in the %define?

Hi,

At the beginning of a .spec file there are some define. I wonder if one can set if-condition in the define such as:

Code:

...
%define profile_name @PROFILE_NAME@
...
if  [ %{profile_name} == "test" ]
%define pkg_release @PACKAGE_RELEASE_TEST@
fi

if [[ %{profile_name} == "pbv-icf" ]]; then
%define pkg_release @PACKAGE_RELEASE_PBV-ICF@
fi

...

I've tried this but I got error message like:

Code:

      [rpm] Building the RPM based on the pbv-icf-jboss-eap-6.2.1.spec file
      [rpm] error: line 18: Unknown tag: if  [ pbv-icf == "test" ]

This means the code "if [ %{profile_name} == "test" ]" is wrong.

Later I change this code as follow:

Code:

...
%if  [ %{profile_name} == "test" ]
%define pkg_release @PACKAGE_RELEASE_TEST@
%endif
...

But I got another error:

Code:

...
      [rpm] error: parse error in expression
      [rpm] error: pbv-icf-jboss-eap-6.2.1.spec:18: parseExpressionBoolean returns -1
...

What could be the correct format for IF-condition?

My problem is solved by myself. I use the following code:

Code:

...
if "%{profile_name}" == "test"
%define pkg_release @PACKAGE_RELEASE_TEST@
%endif
...

Typo on the solution. Updated as follows:

%if "%{profile_name}" == "test"
%define pkg_release @PACKAGE_RELEASE_TEST@
%endif
