As OBS sets up a clean build environment you can compile against targets that do not match your setup
I may of course have gaps in my understanding :-)
Me as well, I guess
--- Yeah, your build target also has to be installable on your local machine. That's a primary reason for building on my local machine. The resulting rpm will use the libs on my machine at build time, and can be installed and work after they are built.
Using a foreign or virtual environment won't let you build, necessarily, for installation on your local machine.
I feel here's the gap: Depending on how 'individual' your system is your rpm installs on your machine, but on no other. Having a clean and reproduceable build environment is a *big* advantage in OBS.... Cheers Axel
