When I was about to build an RPM package with pre-compiled x86_64 binaries in it, I ran into rpmbuild errors.

The error mention "No build ID note found" on the pre-compiled binaries:

RPM build errors:
    Bad exit status from /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.n8LSLi (%install)

According to a thread in the Fedora Forums, this error comes from the debuginfo script, which is launched to build a debug rpm package.

As I don't need such a debug package, I disabled building a debug package by adding the following macro in the spec file:

%define debug_package %{nil}

Note: I added this just below the %description section inside the spec file

After this change in the spec file, I rebuilt the source file and created another srpm file:

root@rocky8 /opt # tar -czf ~/rpmbuild/SOURCES/my-fancy-package-${pkg_version}.tar.gz my-fancy-package-${pkg_version}/
root@rocky8 /opt # rpmbuild -bs /opt/my-fancy-package-${pkg_version}/my-fancy-package.spec
Wrote: /root/rpmbuild/SRPMS/my-fancy-package-0.1.0-1.el8.src.rpm

Final test, building the binary rpm:

Yes! It worked, the rpm package was built!

Of course this is now moved into a CI/CD pipeline to automate the build process.
