Hi Derek,
I did all you said. After for a long time spending the installation of
missing packages (gpsim, gpsim-devel, gtk+extra, gtk+extra-devel), finally i
am on the building rpm stage. when i execute the command "rpmbuild -bb
ktechlab.spec" i take this messages below:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] tansu]$ cd rpm/SPECS/
[EMAIL PROTECTED] SPECS]$ rpmbuild -bb ktechlab.spec
Executing(%prep): /bin/sh -e /home/tansu/rpm/tmp/rpm-tmp.63587

libtoolize: unrecognized option `--config-only'
Try `libtoolize --help' for more information.
error: Bad exit status from /home/tansu/rpm/tmp/rpm-tmp.63587 (%prep)
RPM build errors:
Bad exit status from /home/tansu/rpm/tmp/rpm-tmp.63587 (%prep)
[EMAIL PROTECTED] SPECS]$
I had a look at the url you mentioned,
http://qa.mandrakesoft.com/twiki/bin/view/Main/RpmHowTo. According to
article, if some errors exist, it could solve some problems to write
"%define __libtoolize /bin/true" in the spec file. i checked. it has already
written.. I frozen. I wish I have lots of time to learn everything about the
linux, life, word. Life is good, and short.
Best regards
Tansu.
