Hello Lawson,it is a SOURCE!

I've added just the compiling instructions:
make depend,make clean,make,
and this works because I get the binaries into the final installation.
May be I omitted some parts about the copy/install of the related
subdirectories and this explains why I have not them.

I never checked with rpm2targz,but my BUILD directory contains the untarred
source with its files and subdirs.
After I write my SPEC file I do:"rpm -bs <file.spec>"
Lately I tried to add the missed subdir at the end of my SPEC file:
/home/root/subdir
and finally I find it on the final installation,but it is empty!
While originally,it contains 3 sub-subdirs whit their own files.

I think I'am using a source:
the folder contains headers,objects,Makefile and so on.
Thank you very much Lawson.
