RE: [Pan-devel] Making RPM's

[Alain Maisonneuve]

Hey all.. thanks for all the assistance..

Now I'm on a different issue.. getting my environment to meet the
requirement needed to build the rpm's..

I'm trying to install GtkSpell 2.0.2 now their is now rpm for this so what I
did was download the src.rpm in the hopes of making a binary rpm that I can
install.. well GtkSpell seem to require the gtk+2-devel libs.. but on the
redhat system it's called gtk2-devel.. what should I do I a case such as
this..

cheers,

Odd. Maybe it's a Mandrake specific switch? From my rpm man page on
Mandrake 7.2:

 The general form of an rpm build command is

           rpm -[b|t]O [build-options] <package_spec>+

       The  argument  used  is -b if a spec file is being used to
       build the package and -t if RPM should look  inside  of  a
       gzipped (or compressed) tar file for the spec file to use.

The man page is dated 1998 by Red Hat.

It's really that "t" option that you are looking for. Check your man page
to see if it's there or not. I haven't had a Mandrake box in ages (since
5.2), but I thought rpm was rpm.
