Here is my first blog on this forum. Since I have been enjoying this site since I found it, I figured "might as well"... This blog will show the fun and headaches in building a Linux From Scratch (LFS) system from the eyes of someone who is VERY new to Linux.

Since this blog is being written as I learn, the "teachings" may jump around from time to time. Eventually this "tutorial" will be posted to the Do It Yourself portion of my site, and will be more...

rpmbuild source rpm's can be difficult at first.

Posted 04-24-2006 at 02:18 AM by qizzer

Building rpms from src is really fairly easy. The difficult part is getting set up to make them.
A good howto tutorial for Mandriva is at; http://qa.mandriva.com/twiki/bin/view/Main/RpmHowTo (note: the ugly box on the left has a stick pin on it. Be sure to stick it to the top of the page before reading.)
The first rpm may be quite difficult. You are bound to run into dependency problems. MesaGL, TK, tcl etc. etc. etc. These dependencies will become fewer and fewer with each src.rpm...
