Hello list,

I have try to rebuild an rpm package with use the %configure macro.

This will fails, beacuse the %_host_vendor macro witch is placed at:

/usr/lib/rpm/macros is set to "unknown" and not to "redhat" like the

"%_vendor" macro in the same file. This will result that the build script will

think it is an cross build. But it is not.



So I think it will be in an bug in SL Linux.



package: rpm-4.8.0-27.el6.x86_64





Sample:

%configure will result in:

./configure --build=x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu --host=x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu --target=x86_64-redhat-linux-gnu --program-prefix= --prefix=/usr --exec-prefix=/usr --bindir=/usr/bin --sbindir=/usr/sbin --sysconfdir=/etc --datadir=/usr/share --includedir=/usr/include --libdir=/usr/lib64 --libexecdir=/usr/libexec --localstatedir=/var --sharedstatedir=/var/lib --mandir=/usr/share/man --infodir=/usr/share/info



but correct will be:

./configure --build=x86_64-redhat-linux-gnu --host=x86_64-redhat-linux-gnu --target=x86_64-redhat-linux-gnu --program-prefix= --prefix=/usr --exec-prefix=/usr --bindir=/usr/bin --sbindir=/usr/sbin --sysconfdir=/etc --datadir=/usr/share --includedir=/usr/include --libdir=/usr/lib64 --libexecdir=/usr/libexec --localstatedir=/var --sharedstatedir=/var/lib --mandir=/usr/share/man --infodir=/usr/share/info





Thanks
