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??
