[Libphidget-devel] RPM build: sketch done

[Vadim T. <vt...@fr...>]

Hello,

Do 'cvs update', become root and do 'make rpm' - it'll create the binary and
source RPMs at the proper locations.

Restrictions:

- This has been tested on RedHat 7.0, no idea how will it work on other
  distributions;

- Documentation included with the RPM package is by no means adequate. I was
  thinking about adding the files generated by Doxygen to the package (as
  well as to 'make dist'), but I don't want to shuffle them around myself.
  Proposal is to create ${srcdir}/docs and generate into that directory, and
  later deploy as part of 'make install'. Another consideration - well, may
  be it *is* a good idea to make the website a part of the distribution?
  Then, you'd have consistent site navigation all around...

- Can't make rpm install the package without --nodeps - complains about
  missing libusb (right, I don't have the *package* installed) and libsafe
  (beats me).

Other than that, works just fine...
