You mean an OpenSuse OBS-project? I don't have one....
When you log in to OBS with your openSUSE-credentials into OBS you get to home:<username>, and that is you personal sandpit.
In this you can add a package - like regard3d - upload sources and spec file, add a Distribution to build against (e.g. Leap 15.2) and let it run....
You mean create an spec file.
Some projects deliver one, others not. Fedora might be a ood point to start looking for one as well (not in this case).
It is a nightmare. To the complications of compiling, you add the complications of OBS. :-(
Like the clean build environment, not messed up with personal add-ons and tweaks?
How clean do you think a clean directory in my computer is? Absolutely empty.
As clean as all the additionally installed packages and tweaks, that are not needed to compile the program (and would not be in a new VM on OBS).
That is only relevant when compiling for publication.
I have no idea how to create an spec file.
See below
Every tool needs a learning curve, and I have not seen something similar, that allows x-distro and x-platform builds so easily.
I already know how to build Linux projects at home, no effort needed. I tried the OBS and failed, years ago. Too complicated. There are no training courses on OBS.
I prefer the old checkinstall approach. It created the spec file automatically, it just worked.
That could be a starting point....
Last time I used it, which was several years ago, it was no longer packaged, and it was broken. Nobody had interest in repairing it, they all said "use the OBS". Last version is dated 2016. Only some home repos have it.
I'm not a packager and I don't want to be.
No problem with that. I prefer OBS builds and RPM created from there over homebrewn compilations. But as we say in my area: 'Jede Jeck is anners' (roughly, everyone is different)
