Never done this before. I have the WinPower tarball on my box. I have installed the development tools. I followed Filipe's How to: <http://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/SetupRpmBuildEnvironment> and these commands: mkdir -p ~/rpmbuild/{BUILD,RPMS,SOURCES,SPECS,SRPMS} echo '%_topdir %(echo $HOME)/rpmbuild' > ~/.rpmmacros (for a non root user) Questions: (1) After I unzip the WinPower tarball, what command(s) do I use to create an RPM for WinPower? (2) Is there any need to install the development kernel for this? (This is a fully updated CentOS 5.2 box, 32 bit) TIA!
