$Id: README.rpm,v 1.3 2001/05/04 04:27:17 dnedrow Exp $ There are two way to build RPMs for sgmltools-lite. Both require that you be logged in (or su'd) as root. 1) Using rpm directly To build the rpm directly from the source, simply run the following command: rpm -ta sgmltool-lite-.tar.gz where should be substituted with the appropriate string from the actual source file. This command instructs RPM to use the source file directly when creating RPMs. It uses the spec file (previously under ${top}/rpm, now directly in ${top} of the source tree) stored in the source file. Two RPMs will be built, a binary package and a source package. These will be stored under /usr/src/redhat. Note that the default specfile is now for RedHat 7.1. If you wish to build for another platform, use the appropriate spec file from the rpm directory. 2) Using the Makefile To use make to create the RPMs, simply copy the tarred and GZIP'd source file into the top of the source tree (where you found this README.rpm) and issue the following command: make rpm That's all. Unlike method 1 above, the make version copies the completed RPMs into the top of the sgmltools-lite source tree. -David Nedrow
