From mboxrd@z Thu Jan 1 00:00:00 1970 From: "Stephen C. Biggs" To: cygwin Subject: Bogus hostname forcing in RedHat source RPMS Date: Sun, 17 Dec 2000 17:39:00 -0000 Message-id: <3A3CFA31.25027.A25338@localhost> X-SW-Source: 2000-12/msg00779.html Trying to install (rpm --rebuild) libtool from source rpm downloaded from ftp.redhat.com bombs because it looks like the SPEC file is trying to force an invalid host type (i386-pc-cygwin_nt-4.0 when it SHOULD be i686-pc-cygwin) if it sees CYGWIN. Going to the source directory of the installed code and running ./configure (with everything but the hostname) and make/make install works just fine. This seems to be the case for all of the source rpms (?) (I tried two, libtool and grep). I really know nothing about how to use RPM except for the basic stuff, so if there is a way to override this host name forcing, please advise. This is a real shame, if there is no way to override the bogus hostname, because, with my port for RPM 4.0, cygwin users can rebuild and use almost all of the nifty Linux tools that redhat has.
