no idea what this efl.spec.in is... the http ref is a placeholder website (domain squatter). but it seems you need to learn how to build packages - specifically rpm pkgs and they use .spec files to describe the packages metadata, how to build it and where/what files are installed and how they may be split into sub-packages. i suspect you probably need to start with tutorials on how to build rpm's... it's pretty easy. last time i did rpms was a few decades back but it's not hard and i picked it up with no manuals or tutorials - i simply read existing spec files and went "aaaah that's the field i need" etc. - so it's not hard. :) > *Background*: I am in the process of re-building an Oracle Linux 9.3 server > <https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/rebuilding-linux-server-index-articles-overlogix-9tmvf> > (this is a downstream RHEL derivative, stable and conservative), got it to > compile yesterday and stopped there to *RTFM*. > > Currently installed are the latest Fedora packages as a temporary measure > while the build issues are sorted out.
