hi
how do you pass vars to rpmbuild for definition? eg
rpmbuild --define \'"${_definition2}"\'
I've been fiddling with ways to escape, but none is fricking working..
I mean, rpmbuild rushes to work(no errors nor failure) so if you try
just the command line do not believe it, because later as it
executes %if you will see process does not see these definitions.

Most of the time, bash will not replace variables inside single quotes,
so I am not sure that would work. I use for my mock script:
mock --configdir=$configdir -D "dist $dist" -r $mock_cfg
It seems not to get confused with double quotes there .. but it puts in
the literal value $dist if I use single quotes.

This sounds like you're running into bash quoting issues, not a bug in
rpmbuild. Are you running these commands in a shell script? Is it
executed from a non-interactive service?
Everything in bash script.
It actually might be working. What I did was I was looking for a
confirmation like this:
$ ps -FC rpmbuild --cols
UIDPID PPID CSZ RSS PSR STIME TTY TIME CMD
appmgr 24855 24835 0 44512 6772 16 17:33 pts/000:00:00 rpmbuild
--define "_MKL 1" --define "_mic 1"
waiting to see those quotation marks(single or double) in there, but..
it turns out that it works actually when ps is not showing them, like:
$ ps -FC rpmbuild --cols
UIDPID PPID CSZ RSS PSR STIME TTY TIME CMD
appmgr 24855 24835 0 44512 6772 16 17:33 pts/000:00:00 rpmbuild
--define _MKL 1 --define _mic 1
and then vars(in a bash script, all in such a script) are simply declared:
...
export _definition1='_MKL 1'
rpmbuild --define "${_definition1}" --define "${_definition2}"
without! any escaping of quotes.

I'm not sure what you are trying to define above.
Normal convention where one wishes to define _foobar as "foo" for
example would be:
rpmbuild --define '_foobar foo'
or generically
rpmbuild --define 'SomeVariable SomeValue'
Hope that helps
Try to pass bash var to rpmbuild, eg:
$ _def1="_me no"
$ rpmbuild --define ${_def1}
I assume you are doing this in a bash script?
${_def1} may need to be quoted as it contains a space.
But for that I would do the following to make it more readable:
ME="no"
rpmbuild --define '_me ${ME}'
or if ${ME} contains spaces:
rpmbuild --define '_me "${ME}"'
none of of these work for me, like I said earlier I fiddle a bit with
it. I was hoping someone could confirm this and then maybe it's a bug?
