Creating RPMs

Asked by AlexanderR in Fedora Linux, Linux, RPM Installer

Tags: ,

I need a step by step guide one how to make an RPM after compiling from source on Fedora 8.

I am not being lazy. I've looked through many infos about rpm on fedora and redhat sites and wikis but they are all overly complicated for what i need.  I just want to be able to use my favorite programs the day they come out (like firefox azureus amarok php avant etc.).  Doing a regular configure-make-make install routing tends to mess things up: either the file structure does not follow the standard of the distro or there is no way to uninstall/upgrade later.  So i want to make an rpm of, for example, latest amarok compiled from source.

Also i will need to make an rpm of programs already in binary like azureus.

Thanks for any tips!Start Free Trial
