Re: [CentOS] build rpm from source code

Hello

Is there any good and quick document on building spec file. there is source file that has no rpm and we need to build the spec file and srpm.

Thanks

http://www.rpm.org/RPM-HOWTO/build.html

A quick google should give you some nice places to find such information; however, Fedora Packaging Guidelines might be what you're looking for. also, you can have a gander at some simple spec files for some packages that are an easy ./configure && make && make install sorts.

The above link is from rpm.org and may or may not be what you're looking for.
