RHEL / Fedora /CentOS Linux: Set RPM Build Environment

by

To set up the RPM build environment on RHEL, Fedora, or CentOS, you need to install the rpm-build package and a few other required packages. Here are the steps to set up the RPM build environment:

  1. Install the required packages:
sudo yum install rpm-build redhat-rpm-config rpmdevtools
  1. Create the RPM build directories:
rpmdev-setuptree
  1. Copy the source files to the appropriate build directories: Source files should be placed in the ~/rpmbuild/SOURCES directory.
  2. Create a .spec file: The .spec file is used to specify the build instructions for the RPM. It should be placed in the ~/rpmbuild/SPECS directory.
  3. Build the RPM:
rpmbuild -ba ~/rpmbuild/SPECS/package.spec
  1. Install the RPM:
sudo yum install ~/rpmbuild/RPMS/arch/package.rpm

Note: This is a basic example, and the actual steps may vary depending on your build requirements and the version of RHEL, Fedora, or CentOS you are using.
