Hi,
I've googled around to find an alternative to my rpm macros that fails to work
since fedora-20. (maybe 18?) (I migrated from fc-17)
When doing:
rpmbuild --with foo=3 bar.spec
I get the following error:
warning: Macro %_with_foo needs whitespace before body
Looking at what is defined using --showrc, I see:
-8: _with_foo =3 --with-foo=3
The result is that same as on fc-17 or rhel-6, but in thos OS, I don't get a
warning.
I used to parse that in the following way:
%{?_with_foo: %define foo %(set -- %{_with_foo}; echo $1 | grep -v with | sed
's/=//')}
I use that in several rpms since ages to allow for alternative builds.
=> What can I do to keep the same command line syntax: rpmbuild --with
parameter=value ...
(example: rpmbuild --with examples=all --with root_dir=/opt --with
corp_key=corp.pub myprog.spec)
It seems that if I replace the '=' with ':' it works, unfortunately, sometimes
I have ':' in the parameter value wich is not practical to parse.
I've read that: http://rpm5.org/docs/api/macros.html (I know it's rpm5, not
rpm) and that: http://lists.rpm.org/pipermail/rpm-list/2013-January/001360.html
but couldn't find a solution to my problem.
If someone could give me advices on that , that would be cool.
(I'm maintainer of severa OSCAR cluster rpms, helped to package jobmonarch and
ganglia, all using this --with feature, so I need to fix that).
