Building an RPM package

Create the following directory structure:

mkdir -p ~/rpmbuild/SOURCES ~/rpmbuildrpm/SPECS

Create a tar file containing the source code, named like so: <packagename>-<version>.tgz

tar -cavf ~/rpmbuild/SOURCES/mylib-1.0.1.tgz --transform='#^#mylib-1.0.1/#s' *.c *.h makefile

Create a *.spec file using the following template:
