<h4>Building RPM packages</h4>
You may build RPM file using the make file.
<br>
<br>
You must first make sure that the Makefile is OK for your system.
Call for example <b>./Configure -p /usr</b>.
<br>
<br>
After this step you may edit the rpm spec.ORG file[s]. and add at the top of
the <b>%changelog</b> the version and why you have build the RPM package.
<br>
<br>
The next step consist in rebuild of the <i>spec</i> files with
<b>make spec</b>.
<br>
<br>
The last step will create the RPM packages. At this stage you have
two choice:
<ul>
<li>Creating separate RPM packages</li>
<li>Creating a RPM packages containing all components</li>
</ul>
The RPM file for the first version will be created by calling <b>make rpm-all</b>.
The following files will be created:
<ul>
<li>mtink-all-<version>.<plattform>.rpm<br>
</li>
<li>mtink-all-<version>.src.rpm</li>
</ul>
<br>
Calling of <b>make rpm</b> will create the files:
<br>
<ul>
<li>mtink-<version>.<plattform>.rpm<br>
This file contain the status monitor mtink and ttink</li>
<li>mtink-gimp-plugin-<version>.<plattform>.rpm<br>
The gimp pluging if applicable</li>
<li>mtink-mtinkd-<version>.<plattform>.rpm<br>
The daemon mtinkd</li>
<li>mtink-<version>.src.rpm</li>
</ul>
<br>
The rpm file are normally placed under /usr/src/*/RPMS/<plattform>
and /usr/src/*/SRPMS.<br>
If you have a private location, they will be placed there.<br>
<br>
In order to have running package, do the job as root.
