Hi Imam,
I have not found any docs on this, and maybe hidden in some of the
issuess/PR, but this is how I do it
Have a CentOS 7 physical or Virtual machine, I then went through this
process
yum install
http://elrepo.org/linux/elrepo/el7/x86_64/RPMS/elrepo-release-7.0-3.el7.elrepo.noarch.rpm
yum -y install mstflint ipmitool screen glibc.i686 usbutils bc ntp
dosfstools mdadm \
vconfig bridge-utils lldpad libgcc.i686 efibootmgr rpm-build
reiserfs-utils
git clone g...@github.com:ocfplc/xcat-core.git
git checkout centos7_genbase
cd xcat-core/xCAT-genesis-builder
./buildrpm
Hopefully, if everything goes to plan, the above then should produce the
following output

I hope this works for you
