   1 How to make RPMs of the wxWindows sources
   2 =========================================

   4 This is just a short description. It is assumed that you know what you are
   5 doing. I do not take any responsibility for damaged systems, use at your own
   6 risk!

   8         1. Extract the archive in a temporary directory. Since you are
   9            reading this text, you already have done this.
  10         2. Copy the .spec file to
  11                 (rpm-dir)/SPECS
  12         3. Copy the .tgz file to
  13                 (rpm-dir)/SOURCES
  14         4. Start the RPM manager with
  15                 rpm -bb (rpm-dir)/SPECS/(.spec-file)
  16            or with
  17                 rpm -ba (rpm-dir)/SPECS/(.spec-file)
  18            (the latter also builds the .src.rpm-file)
  19         5. You now have a nice set of RPMs in (rpm-dir)/RPMS

  21 Example
  22 =======
  23
  24 Here's how to install e.g. wxMotif 2.1.14:
  25
  26         cp wxMotif.spec /usr/src/packages/SPECS
  27         cp wxMotif-2.1.14.tgz /usr/src/packages/SOURCES
  28         rpm -bb /usr/src/packages/SPECS/wxMotif.spec
  29
  30 Install the resulting packages with
  31
  32         rpm --install /usr/src/packages/RPMS/i386/wxMotif-2.1.14-0.i386.rpm
  33         rpm --install /usr/src/packages/RPMS/i386/wxMotif-devel-2.1.14-0.i386.rpm
  34         rpm --install /usr/src/packages/RPMS/i386/wxMotif-gl-2.1.14-0.i386.rpm
  35
  36
  37
  38 That's all. You should now have a working wxWindows library.
