My status is that iam learning to create a spec file 4 rpm.While creating it
i account certain problems.
First problem is that while running the %prep section there is creation of
an extra directory on path usr/src/redhat/BUILD naming Sbull-1.1 untaring
within it sbull-1.1({pakagename}-{ver}) (Source file)rather than untaring
sbull-1.1 directly on to the BUILD.
Second problem is while running the %install section at the time of
installing rpm it could not find binary and source files.If it helps iam
attaching the spec file,illustrating the list of tared files below,tared
within directory sbull-1.1.
GPL
sbull.c
Makefile
sbull.1
