Re[2]: [newbie] How do you create a RPM files from Tarball sources
Hey John, Say, where does the newly created rpm file end up, after checkinstall. To be honest, I don't know. I haven't yet tried it, just read the docs after recommendation by others. But I bet it's configurable. ;-) Roman Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft? Go to http://www.mandrakestore.com

Re: [newbie] How do you create a RPM files from Tarball sources
Hi, I need to learn how to create rpm files from tar files. I feel that it falls into two parts, preperation and action. That would probably be best done with checkinstall http://asic-linux.com.mx/~izto/checkinstall/ which is a tool that you run instead of make install. Of course, you must run ./configure and make beforehand. I want to experiment with alsa-driver-0.9.0beta9.tar.bz2 snip checking for directory with kernel source... /usr/src/linux checking for kernel version... expr: syntax error expr: syntax error expr: syntax error failed (probably missing /usr/src/linux/include/linux/version.h) [root@localhost alsa-driver-0.9.0beta9]# This oneseems to like my system, but it would seem I also need version h first , what ever that is.

Thanks Roman, Say, where does the newly created rpm file end up, after checkinstall. John On Tuesday 16 April 2002 12:35, you wrote: Hi, I need to learn how to create rpm files from tar files.
