Does anyone know how to make FreeBasic rpm packages ?
What do you put into the spec.file ? and how to do it?
Linux RPM's
Re: Linux RPM's
RPMS are complex beasts. I learned a little bit about building them by modifying spec files from existing distro source rpms. There are a number of tutorials to introduce you to the art, such as this one: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/How_to_c ... PM_package. Though it's more aimed at fedora, but the parts about the SPEC file should be applicable. Also there is the official documentation for rpm at http://rpm.org.
You know, if you're interested in building your own distribution, you might find the latest adventures of the podcast mintcast (http://mintcast.org) interesting. They have been embarking on building their own distro using the Linux from Scratch system. LFS would be a good way to learn how distros are put together and build your own Linux skills.

I .deb distros is utility checkinstall. Maybe in .RPM distros is too.
