Been a while since I read the how to ...<BR>
All that is talking about is building a build enviroment for a user (i.e) non root.<BR>
<BR>
You need rpm-build installed.<BR>
Copy the spec file to the SPEC directory in your build tree.<BR>
Everything else to the SOURCES directory<BR>
<BR>
Here is a quick simple script for building a user rpmbuild directory<BR>
<BR>
<BR>
#!/bin/sh<BR>
#<BR>
#START<BR>
echo "Run this as your normal user in users home directory"; echo "Press a key. . ." ; read<BR>
#<BR>
cp -a /usr/src/redhat/ rpmbuild<BR>
#<BR>
cat <<EOFRPMRC > ~/.rpmrc<BR>
buildarchtranslate: i386: i386<BR>
buildarchtranslate: i486: i486<BR>
buildarchtranslate: i586: i586<BR>
buildarchtranslate: i686: i686<BR>
EOFRPMRC<BR>
#<BR>
cat <<EOFRPMMACROS > ~/.rpmmacros<BR>
%_topdir /home/user/rpmbuild<BR>
%_tmppath /home/user/rpmbuild/tmp<BR>
%_signature gpg<BR>
%_gpg_name CentOS 4<BR>
%_gpg_path ~/.gnupg<BR>
%distribution CentOS 4<BR>
%vendor Caos<BR>
EOFRPMMACROS<BR>
#<BR>
echo "Ex. rpmbuild --rebuild --target i686"<BR>
echo " Ex. binary only - rpmbuild -bb foo.spec"<BR>
echo " Ex. binary and src - rpmbuild -ba foo.spec"<BR>
#END<BR>
<BR>
