| | 3 | It is very easy to build an RPM of Box Backup on Linux platforms. This should work on all Red Hat distributions (including Fedora), SuSE, and probably others too. |
| | 4 | |
| | 5 | Given that you have the correct development packages installed simply execute this command (replacing the version number): |
| | 6 | {{{ |
| | 7 | rpmbuild -ta boxbackup-0.00.tgz |
| | 8 | }}} |
| | 9 | ''rpmbuild'' will report where the packages have been written to, and these can be installed in the normal manner. |
| | 10 | |
| | 11 | If you have never built an RPM before you should set up a convenient build area as described in the [http://www.rpm.org/max-rpm/s1-rpm-anywhere-different-build-area.html RPM book]. |
| | 12 | |
| | 13 | If you wish to customise the package you can find the spec file in the ''contrib/rpm'' directory. |
