That is done with the -c option, so your %autosetup line above should be: %autosetup -c Your next errors will be that this tool has no configure or Makefile, so %configure, %make_build, and %make_install are all going to fail. You will need to replace them with the actual steps to build/install the textext package. I suspect that there is nothing to build, so the %build section can likely be dropped entirely. Then in the %install section you'll have to create the needed directory structure and install the files. And finally you'll have to list them in the %files section. You'll really want to read more of the rpm packaging guides to learn how to do all of those things. https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/How_to_create_an_RPM_package might be a good place to start. -- Todd ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Talk is cheap because supply exceeds demand.
