[389-users] Help building rpm for Oracle Linux 9

Hello,

I'm trying to build the rpm packages for 389 directory server from source on an Oracle Linux 9 x64 server following the instructions from the page: https://www.port389.org/docs/389ds/development/building.html
I have zero experience in building rpms.

The steps that i followed are:
1) download source tarball (either 389-ds-base-2.5.2.tar.bz2 and 389-ds-base-2.4.6.tar.bz2)
2) untar tarball (in folder /usr/local/src/)
3) install dependencies with the command: dnf install `grep "^BuildRequires" rpm/389-ds-base.spec.in | awk '{print $2}' | sed -e "s/%{python3_pkgversion}/3/"`

4) Try to make the rpms with the command: SKIP_AUDIT_CI=1 make -f rpm.mk rpms

After running the above command, the compiles finished successfully but the rpm building fails.
The error is the following:

RPM build errors:
    File must begin with "/": %{bash_completions_dir}/ds-replcheck
make: *** [rpm.mk:140: rpms] Error 1
[root@dsdev 389-ds-base-2.4.6]#
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The same error occur with the 2.5.2 version of the sources.
At first the procedure ended with a different error, but i manage to overcome it by installing the rpm-build package.

Regards,
Antonis Kopsaftis
