This article is about how to build rpm packages with the rpmbuild command and a SPEC file.
The program
Here is how we create our program, hello world:
cd
mkdir hello
cd hello
cat >main.c <<EOF
#include <stdio.h>
int main()
{
printf("hello world");
}
EOF
The Makefile
To build our program, we need a makefile. Here is how we create it:
cat >Makefile <<EOF
all:hello
hello: main.c
gcc main.c -o hello
install: hello
cp hello /usr/local/bin
EOF
sed -i "s/ /\t/g" Makefile
The SPEC file
