Hi,
You can make RPMs with check install package included with SuSE. just run "configure --your-options", "make", "checkinstall make install".
Hey, thanks for that tip.
Right now, I'm making an RPM by taking a tarball and doing: rpm -tb tarballname.tar.gz
I have question - how you specify "configure --your-options" in this case?
You have to extract the spec file from the tarball: tar zxf tarballname.tar.gz tarballname/application.spec Then edit application.spec, and supply your config options. Then place the SPEC file in /usr/src/packages/SPECS, and the file tarballname.tar.gz in the /usr/src/packages/SOURCES directory. And finally run rpm -bb /usr/src/packages/SPECS/application.spec -- Anand Buddhdev http://anand.org
