rebuild and target requires two hyphens:
rpmbuild -–rebuild –-target=i586 wl-kmod-5.60.246.2-1.src.rpm

Ash, hi.

Stuck at step 6. when I
rpmbuild –rebuild –target=i586 wl-kmod-5.60.246.2-1.src.rpm
I get error
-target=i586: unknown
What am I doing wrong?

I think I got it from the slaie site. It was –target instead of -target as it is here.

Sorry, a complete noob.

rpmbuild –rebuild –target=i586 wl-kmod-5.60.246.2-1.src.rpm

In the above there are two hyphens before “rebuild” and “target”, but in this font shows both hyphens as one slightly longer line.

Thanks Siddqq for pointing that out and glad kevinaux that you got it resolved.

Is there any way we can do this offline? I do not have any way to get MeeGo connect to internet(In fact thats precise reason I am trying enable wifi in first place)

I got a 404 on the rpm build step and then looked at the source link (slaine.org) to find that it has been updated. The updated instructions got me going.

The above instructions are a little out of date:

you will get rebuild errors. Check slaine site for a link to the latest build. As of today it is wl-kmod-5.60.246.6-1.src.rpm.

hi,

Tried the instructions. goes fine until the rebuild option.
It seems something has changed?

I get the following error:

Just a small niggly note, your link to Slaines is wrong, two http:// in the link.
Thanks for this post though, was looking for the link

you have to copy the link rpmbuild –rebuild –target=i586 wl-kmod-5.60.246.2-1.src.rpm and chance the two hyphens before rebuild and target manual!
