It will setup a basic chroot with minimal build environment, then grab only the build requires specified in the spec file (and their dependencies), and then build the rpm.

Sometimes the readme gives a bare minimum. Also - google for Linux From Scratch - and BLFS The BLFS guide (beyond linux from scratch) sometimes has exactly listed what is required and what is optional. -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx http://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
