Hello, I'm trying to use the --prefix command to relocate an RPM on install. When building the spec file then running the command:
rpm -Uvh --prefix /opt/drew rpm-name.rpm In a Unix environment it works fine and installs to /opt/drew. However when running the same command in Cygwin it ignores --prefix entirely and just installs to the default directory. I do have to include the --nodeps tag in Cygwin because without it I run into the error "Failed Dependencies: /bin/sh is needed by <rpm-name>" I'm pretty sure I installed all the RPM packages when I installed Cygwin, but I don't know how to check if that is so. I've also tried the --relocate tag but that is also ignored. If anyone has any ideas I'd greatly appreciate it.
