I built an rpm spec file that creates a SpierApe and SpiderApe-devel package for fedora core 6 that I would like to see included in a future distribution.

There are a couple of decisions that I made that you may want to re-think:

1. I did not include libjs or any of the spidermonkey header files (there is already a js package version 1.5 for fedora core). However, there is a bug in the existing js packages that does not let us compile packages:

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=235481

2. I did not fix the pkgconfig hard coded /usr/local/ prefix installation area. In other words SpiderApe-config always points to /usr/local as the installation area even after I installed it in /usr/ using the command:

prefix=/usr make install

to include this in the distribution, copy the spec file into the source tarball (in the top level directory), then type:

rpmbuild -ba SpiderApe-2007.02.02.tar.bz2

    Hi, Glen!

    My apologies for this very late response, but i haven't been checking mails consistently since late last year due to a bout with cancer.

    i would love to include your RPM support. If you would like to get in touch with me about it, please contact me directly at sgbeal at googlemail com.
