ianw1974 Posted May 2, 2006 Report Share Posted May 2, 2006 I've used rpmbuild a few times, but only on sources that already had the specs done, courier-imap and courier-authlib are ones that are already ready to go. Reading one of the other links, I think getting the .src.rpm's are better, since that saves writing spec files and make it a little easier. Not sure how hard it is to write a spec file :unsure: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ffi Posted May 2, 2006 Author Report Share Posted May 2, 2006 Thanks for the links, Arctic I made one rpm from a source package yesterday with instructions given to me in an irc chat but all the commands seemed a bit mysterious to me, anyway the package compiled and build up into several rpm´s https://mandrivausers.org/index.php?showtopic=32115 I hope that when I have a little more time I can figure out how to do it myself as sometimes I get a little impatient to try out some cool software...
