Re: [Ltib] Problems Building a Toolchain RPM

[Mark]

Hello Stuart

Thanks for the example. The spec file that I had created does pretty much the 
same thing as the one that you sent. The toolchain that I have is a tarball of 
the binaries, so I was just trying to copy them to the right location. ( I do 
have the source for the toolchain too).

I've been running rpm/rpmbuild with debugging messages turned on, and it looks 
like the rpm builds correctly, but doesn't extract correctly...

When running rpmbuild:

I was trying to work out which file it might be failing on, but it doesn't 
look like the file order is the same for the build and extract processes.
