how to create .rpm package
 

hi all,

i want to create .rpm package from source file, anybody pls tell me how to proceed..

thanks in advance

I'm new to this, but I've built my first rpm today and it works.

It should work if you have a complete source package, you know, with
./configure;make;make install
working, because I think that when you execute the command for building rpm the output is the same as when running ./configure;make

Look at (that's all I needed for making my rpm):

They say:
"The binary rpm you will build for Mandrakelinux may not work across the distributions, although Mandrake makes everything possible to stay compatible with Red Hat."
I don't know if my rpm works on Red Hat... I know it works on Mandrake...
