Build deb packages is quite easy, just run:
$ sh/make_deb.sh -b

To build rpm packages just run:
$ sh/make_rpm.sh

If You run it from a 32-bit system, You'll get a 32-bit package, if in a 64-bit 
one, a 64-bit package.

Only Fedora and OpenSUSE are supported to build rpm packages.

There are available 32-bit and 64-bit packages for the last BRL-CAD releases.

By default BRL-CAD treat warnings as errors during compilation. To disable it 
just add --disable-strict at ./configure line in misc/debian/rules file.

This is not necessary in the TRUNK, it has been moved to cmake.
