unknown option "-b" in rpm !!! 1

[haneo]

i have used previous verison of redhat (=<7.3) to build rpm i use the -b option but with redhat 8.0 it say that unknown option -b, but with man rpm i can read theat there is the option -b.
what to do to build my rpms ?

I don't want to paste the entire output of '

man rpm

' , so instead, open the man page for rpm and type:

/BUILD<hit the enter key>

That searches for (and will take you right to) the section on building packages with rpm. You probably wanted &quot;

rpm -ba

, which would make binary and source packages (the 'do it all' option).

Haneo,

As of Red Hat 8.0, they moved RPM building functions to a separate program called &quot;rpmbuild&quot;.

The parameters are the same, so if you used to use, for example &quot;rpm -bb pkg.spec&quot;, it'll now be &quot;rpmbuild -bb pkg.spec&quot;.

Thanks tobiasly for the help
