Building rpms from tarballs are a major pain... just grab the src.rpm,
build it on a system that is like all your target systems, and rebuild
it with "rpmbuild --rebuild foo.src.rpm" . You'll only need to have <span>rddtools,
pcre, </span>devel rpms installed on the system where you rebuild the
rpm. <br>
<br>
for example, I've rebuilt hobbit-4.2.0-1.src.rpm on a rh9 server. it
kicked out 3 rpms: server, client, tools.<br>
<br>
So far I've installed the client rpm onto dozens of rh9,
fc3,fc4,fc6,el3,el4 boxes without having to install any other rpms.<br>
<br>
hope that helps.<br>

<p> <span>Hello All, </span> </p>
<p> <span> </span> </p>
<p> <span>We are using Fedora Core 3 for an in-house
application suite.<br>
I’ve loaded on Hobbit with no problems and everything is working, </span>
</p>
<p> <span>but I compiled everything from source. </span> </p>
<p> <span> </span> </p>
<p> <span>I also had to compile and install:
Apache2, rrdtool, tcl, pcre, and libart </span> </p>
<p> <span>prior to compiling Hobbit. </span> </p>
<p> <span> </span> </p>
<p> <span>These are development boxes which use
Kickstart to install new </span> </p>
<p> <span>versions of the in-house applications. </span> </p>
<p> <span> </span> </p>
<p> <span>I would like to create a single rpm’s
of Hobbit, Apache2,<br>
rrdtool, tcl, pcre, and libart so that I can easily install Hobbit </span>
</p>
<p> <span>during the Kickstart process. </span> </p>
<p> <span> </span> </p>
<p> <span>I’ve never created an rpm of a software
application. Can someone give </span> </p>
<p> <span>me some good pointers. I’ve dug
through some of the docs, </span> </p>
<p> <span>but I’m still a bit rough on the
process. I understand that some of the </span> </p>
<p> <span>applications have a file that I might be
able to use in the process. </span> </p>
<p> <span> </span> </p>
<p> <span>Thanks….James </span> </p>
