[kde-doc-english] Using rpmbuild

YOU HELP ME?

There is something missing in this procedure:  I am not building kwave, 
but this is a prototype - I wish to build rpms of a variety of tar.gz 
files that are needed to install gnumeric.

1.      Go to your RPM "topdir". This normally is /usr/src/redhat for the 
redhat distribution or /usr/src/packages if you have the SuSE 
distribution. 
%cd /usr/src/redhat

2.  Put the tar.gz archive into the SOURCES subdirectory (you have to 
replace "somewhere" with the real directory where the files are, of 
course). 
%cp     /somewhere/kwave-XXX.tar.gzSOURCES

3.      Extract the spec file from the archives and put it into the SPEC 
subdirectory. 
%tar    -xOzf   SOURCES/kwave-XXX.tar.gz\*.spec>SPECS/kwave.spec

4.      Let rpm do the compile job and generate the rpm of Kwave. If you 
only want to make a binary package, you can specify -bb instead of -ba, or 
just -bs to build only a source package. 
%rpmbuild       -bb     SPECS/kwave.spec


5.  If everything was ok, you can install the binary rpm of Kwave, it will 
be in the BUILD directory. If you already have a version of Kwave 
installed, please remove it first or use the parameter -U instead of -i 
for upgrading instead of installing. 
%rpm    -ivh    BUILD/[arch]/kwave-XXX.[arch].rpm

The "arch" string should be specified earlier I think
and the arch string does not exist as a dir under BUILD.  These 
steps created /usr/src/redhat/RPMS/noarch/intltool-0.37.1-1.noarch.rpm

What's Missing??
