    44Getting Started
    55
    … …  
    77To build rpms you need to have a .rpmmacros file in your home directory which configures your build tree location. The minimum you'll need is the location of your top directory for building
    88
     9{{{
     10#!sh
    911[joe@host ~] cat .rpmmacros
    1012%_topdir $HOME/src
    11 
     13}}}
    1214You'll need to create /home/$USER/src as well, with the following subdir's: SRPMS SPECS BUILD SOURCES RPMS

     15{{{
     16#!sh
    1417[joe@host ~] cd
    1518[joe@host ~] mkdir -p src/SRPMS src/SPECS src/BUILD src/SOURCES src/RPMS
    16 
     19}}}
    1720to build your first rpm, start simple. Download a known to be good source rpm of something small, tar is a good first package since it is small and quick to build. Install the src rpm using
    18 
     21{{{
     22#!sh
    1923[joe@host ~] rpm -Uvh packagex.src.rpm
    20 
     24}}}
    2125This will install the packagex.spec file in your SPECS directory and the source files (usually a tarball, eg package-version.release.tar.gz) in your SOURCES directory.
    2226To build this rpm using that spec:
    23 
     27{{{
     28#!sh
    2429[joe@host ~] rpmbuild -ba packagex.spec
    2530Executing(%prep): /bin/sh -e /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.55587
    … …  
    3136Wrote: NaVclean): /bin/sh -e /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.90228
    3237+ umask 022 + cd %_topdir/BUILD + cd packagex + rm -rf /tmp/packagex-1.2.5-2.PU_IAS.1-root + exit 0
    33 
     38}}}
    3439If all goes well you've built your first rpm :). If your package built successfully, you will see lines like those shown above "Wrote: package", if your build fails you will not see these lines and the exit status will not be 0 :(.
