[CMake] issue with CPack: RPM package was not generated!

Tue Jul 31 09:11:07 EDT 2018

Hi Miroslav,

Do you need something very specific that you need a custom spec file?
If this is not the case you should try to let CPackRPM generate the spec
file for you.

This "USER spec file" feature was designed (quite a long time ago) when
CPackRPM was lacking some features that came in after that.
It was a debug & developer feature as well in order to ease CPackRPM
evolution.
This was made public in order to be able to "unblock" user before they get
the awaited feature in next CPackRPM release.
The USER spec file cannot be as rich as a "standard RPM spec file" there is
some restriction in what you can write in it.

In any case you can try to switch on CPackRPM debug output:
cpack -D CPACK_RPM_PACKAGE_DEBUG=1 -G RPM

You should be able to get more detail about the failure.
In this mode CPack RPM will tell you where is the log/err file you can
inspect to know more.
