Hi.
I tried to create a RPM package for AssoEdit. Everything seems fine, with the exception that I do not want to include WPTOOLS.DLL since it is already bundled in ArcaOS.
The issue is when I run the RPM installer.
[C:\HOME\RPMBUILD\RPMS\I686]yum install AssoEdit-2.1.2-1.oc00.i686.rpm
Setting up Install Process
Examining AssoEdit-2.1.2-1.oc00.i686.rpm: AssoEdit-2.1.2-1.oc00.i686
Marking AssoEdit-2.1.2-1.oc00.i686.rpm to be installed
Resolving Dependencies

--> Processing Dependency: wptools.dll for package: AssoEdit-2.1.2-1.oc00.i686
--> Finished Dependency Resolution
Error: Package: AssoEdit-2.1.2-1.oc00.i686 (/AssoEdit-2.1.2-1.oc00.i686)
Requires: wptools.dll
You could try using --skip-broken to work around the problem
You could try running: rpm -Va --nofiles --nodigest
Yes it asks for wptools.dll, even if it is not a requirements on the specs file.
Error: Package: AssoEdit-2.1.2-1.oc00.i686 (/AssoEdit-2.1.2-1.oc00.i686)
Requires: wptools.dll
It makes me think that rpm is actually looking for the dependencies of the executable assoedit.exe file which was unexpected for me.
Does somebody knows how to make that the RPM package "compile" ignore that dependency?
