From 02a893bc99757d75b7abb43b74f210dfa3df8c4b Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Masahiro Yamada Date: Thu, 29 Dec 2022 04:10:14 +0900 Subject: [PATCH] kbuild: rpm-pkg: add libelf-devel as alternative for BuildRequires Guoqing Jiang reports that openSUSE cannot compile the kernel rpm due to "BuildRequires: elfutils-libelf-devel" added by commit 8818039f959b ("kbuild: add ability to make source rpm buildable using koji"). The relevant package name in openSUSE is libelf-devel. Add it as an alternative package. BTW, if it is impossible to solve the build requirement, the final resort would be: $ make RPMOPTS=--nodeps rpm-pkg This passes --nodeps to the rpmbuild command so it will not verify build dependencies. This is useful to test rpm builds on non-rpm system. On Debian/Ubuntu, for example, you can install rpmbuild by 'apt-get install rpm'. NOTE1: Likewise, it is possible to bypass the build dependency check for debian package builds: $ make DPKG_FLAGS=-d deb-pkg NOTE2: The 'or' operator is supported since RPM 4.13. So, old distros such as CentOS 7 will break. I suggest installing newer rpmbuild in such cases.
