I've implemented "make rpm" in my experimental automake-based
package called "xtestsuite". It was more intended for myself to
somehow get into the the automake/autoconf thing so the C/C++ sources
are not very interesting.
However, the "make rpm" feature seems to work quite well - it even
lets you build RPM and SRPM packages without being root or modifying
the user's ~/.rpmrc file.
The packaging macros use the PKG_ prefix. If someone wants to improve
my macros and scripts and transform it into a generic
automake/autoconf macro collection for packaging I'd be happy to
assist.
Please note that the some of the programs contained in the package
require SDL (Simple Direct Media Layer
<http://www.devolution.com/~slouken/SDL/>) so if you don't have that,
you will have to comment out some lines. Also note that I only have
only tested and used this package on Intel-based maschines running
Redhat Linux so far.
You can get the package from

If you still have questions, don't hesitate to contact me via personal
mail or on the automake or autoconf lists if on-topic.
Cheers,
Uli
