Thanks for the help. For the record here's what I found after digging through docs on various sites, and trying things.
RPM is supposed to use macros in /usr/lib/rpm - which it does - and these for the files in /etc/rpm. This is what I get when I ran rpmbuild --showrc on a untouchec system. /etc/rpm/macros.*:/etc/rpm/macros:/etc/rpm/pentium3-linux/macros: and this for the user. ~/.rpmmacros I tried creating a .rpmmacros file and added this to it as the only entry. There were no files in /etc/rpm. buildarchtranslate: pentium3: i686 This did not work until I created a symlink to ~/.rpmrc and then ran rpmbuild --showrc and then my build arch was a i686. Although ~/.rpmrc is supposed to be deprecated it appears to be what SUSE uses. After digging through the various files in /usr/lib/rpm and other documents I then decided to try a site file and put an rpmrc in /etc/rpm - that did not work. I even created a /etc/rpm/macros directory and put an rpmrc file in it - no luck. However, putting an rpmrc file in /etc makes it work. If anyone has any docs that explain what OpenSUSE 10.1 really use I'd apprecaite it because I wonder why the paths listed above in /etc/ don't work. I found a reference to /etc/rpmrc in /usr/lib/rpm/convertrpmrc.sh which script is supposed to convert macros in /etc/rpmrc to their equivalents in /etc/rpm and /etc/rpm/macros. So for now I created an /etc/rpmrc with the one entry for buildtranslate and it sees the build arch as i686. On Sunday 10 December 2006 18:10, Joe Morris (NTM) wrote: > Brett I.
