Google "rpmbuild" and follow the instructions there for setting up rpmbuild. http://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/SetupRpmBuildEnvironment I've included a good link, but it's best to read the other links and set them up to meet your own needs. In particular, I use an option to keep the sources for each thing in their own subdirectory: %_sourcedir %{_topdir}/SOURCES/%{name} Then put all of the files from my site into SOURCES (or SOURCES/rsyslog/ if you do as I did) and the spec file in SPECS and run "rpmbuild -ba rsyslog.spec" -- Jo Rhett Net Consonance : net philanthropy to improve open source and internet projects. _______________________________________________ rsyslog mailing list http://lists.adiscon.net/mailman/listinfo/rsyslog http://www.rsyslog.com/professional-services/ What's up with rsyslog?
