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
spiderape rpm spec file

Hi, Glen!

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.
