Thanks for all the responses!
I've read MaximumRPM from:
http://www.rpm.org/max-rpm-snapshot/index.html
Which helped me a great deal.
I'll start a new thread regarding using RPM to build packages.
You'll find MaximumRPM will have taught you a whole lot you didn't need to know (not that this is a bad thing). In this case, it really should have been a case of:
yum install lame wget src.rpm rpmbuild --rebuild src.rpm rpm -Uvh --force shiny-new-binary.rpm
No twiddling with the spec file was required, as it already auto-detected the presence of lame.
jh
Thanks for that John.
I read MaxRPM once before, so just going over the build part again. I want to be able to build my own Linux/Centos RPM's, and then post them on my website. May even make a 3rd party repo. I obviously know the ./configure, make, make install and autoconf and automake stuff, so doing RPM's and a repo should not be that difficult to work out.
Kind Regards,
Keith Roberts
