Save yourself the heart ache and believe that you cannot cross build rpm.

Have a look at:
https://build.opensuse.org/
http://www.open-build-service.org/
Indeed, and I don't know what they do, but I'd bet my lunch money that they
have a farm of VMs and do not try to cross build.

Anybody who can help with this? I have filed a bug report for you for this problem: https://trac.macports.org/ticket/35048 Note that the rpm port contains the very old version 4.4.9 of the rpm program. Other ports exist that provide newer versions of rpm which you may want to use instead. None of the newer rpm ports have this particular bug. $ port search the rpm rpm @4.4.9 (sysutils, archivers) The RPM package management system. rpm45 @4.5 (sysutils, archivers) The RPM package management system. rpm50 @5.0.3 (sysutils, archivers) The RPM package management system. rpm51 @5.1.9 (sysutils, archivers) The RPM package management system. rpm52 @5.2.1 (sysutils, archivers) The RPM package management system. rpm53 @5.3.11 (sysutils, archivers) The RPM package management system. rpm54 @5.4.9 (sysutils, archivers) The RPM package management system.

Brandon I don't know what you really want to do, but what you SAID will not work (it may work in a trivial case). Wim is the OP, not me. Otherwise, you are correct: we don't have cross-build facilities in MacPorts like FreeBSD ports has (and, to be honest, I wouldn't want to rely on even those to build cross-platform RPMs). Correct answer here is VirtualBox or Parallels with the target distribution running as a guest. (I personally like Parallels a little better, find it a bit faster than vbox; I'm also told that many people on Lion get kernel panics from vbox, although as yet I have managed not to trigger that failure mode.) -- brandon s allbery allber...@gmail.com wandering unix systems administrator (available) (412) 475-9364 vm/sms ___ macports-users mailing list macports-users@lists.macosforge.org http://lists.macosforge.org/mailman/listinfo.cgi/macports-users
