Dwain,
Check out the program "krpmbuilder". I believe it shows up in
Development in your menu. It will be a great help in building a proper
rpm with spec file and help you in better understanding what is going
on with the process.
Grab a couple of spec files from other programs source to compare and
get a feel for the process. I think you'll find yourself up to your
armpits in compiling very quickly.
regards,
Lee
