No, you never need to run autogen.sh after untarring the tarball. You should run configure.
See, I've lived in the CVS world to long. For now, I'll just say that you need to run "./configure" before grabbing the gnucash.spec file. If in the future we ever build that file during "make dist", I'll remove the text from the README.
Derek, if this looks kosher, can you commit the attached file for me?
New text: 1) Obtain a GnuCash distribution (source code .tar.gz file), either by downloading from an ftp site somewhere, or building from CVS using "make dist". The file should have the nomenclature gnucash-X.Y.Z.tar.gz where X.Y.Z are the release numbers.
2) Copy and uncompress/tar the distribution in your /usr/src/redhat/SOURCES directory. You will need to do this as the root user. Note, use your distribution-specific path here, only redhat uses "/usr/src/redhat".
cd /usr/src/redhat/SOURCES cp /SOMEPATH/gnucash-X.Y.Z.tar.gz tar xvzf gnucash-X.Y.Z.tar.gz
3) Build and copy the rpm spec file to /usr/src/redhat/SPEC.
cd gnucash-X.Y.Z/ ./configure cd rpm make cp gnucash.spec /usr/src/redhat/SPECS/.
4) Edit the spec file, you probably will only need to modify the following 3 lines, depending on what features you want to include in the rpm:
%define _with_postgres 0 (use postgres backend?) %define _with_ofx 0 (use openofx package?) %define _with_hbci 0 (use hbci package?)
5) Build the binary and source RPMs cd /usr/src/redhat/SPECS rpmbuild -ba gnucash.spec
(note: older versions of rpm use "rpm -ba FILE.spec" to build)
6) Wait a bit, and a new binary rpm will be in /usr/src/redhat/RPMS/<arch> and a new src.rpm will be in /usr/src/redhat/SRPMS.
