Writing a spec file isn't that hard. Even then, I wouldn't start with the RealVNC provided one (no offense to the RealVNC folks). Last time I checked they were building on RH 7.3 for compatibility, requiring older compatibility libraries. I would instead start with the Fedora spec: http://cvs.fedora.redhat.com/viewcvs/devel/vnc/vnc.spec?view=markup That said, I doubt the spec file has changed much since RealVNC 4.0: http://www.realvnc.com/dist/vnc-4.0-1.nosrc.rpm -- William Hooper _______________________________________________ VNC-List mailing list VNC-List@realvnc.com To remove yourself from the list visit: http://www.realvnc.com/mailman/listinfo/vnc-list
