Checkinstall failed with /root/rpmbuild has no source directory
- by leo
I am trying to use checkinstall to build a package from source code.
However, when i run checkinstall , it ask :
/root/rpmbuild has no source directory, please write the path to the
rpm source directory tree.
i am running on fedora 12 and system was installed through kickstart via repository of dvd of fc12. I was not aware of the rpm source directory during the installation.
so how can i check whether rpm source has been installed or not. if not, how to make the rpm source directory so that i can please the checkinstall and build the package successfully. or can i bypass it?
thanks a lot
