Hello, I have installed several apps which I couldn't find in the Repos by retrieving and compiling the source and running make install after compilation. This solution works fine but it would be cooler to get an rpm after compilation to install this instead. However, I have only little experience in building ipk packages, and I also can't figure out which files would go into the rpm-package (is there any way to divert the output of make install to the rpmroot-directory?). It would be even nicer to get checkinstall[1] work on SailfishOS, which is a script which would do the entire rpm build process automatically. Trying to compile checkinstall on SailfishOS unfortunately ends up with errors (something with scandir/scandir64 variable declarations). Any help would highly be appreciated! (I know some people consider checkinstall as somewhat lame, but anyway I find it handy to keep my installation clean). Alternatively, if anyone could point out to manually build a rpm containing the packages installed by "make install" it would also be great. The only way I(tm) currently imaging was to rebuild the package after configuring a different install-root when running ./configure, but I'm pretty sure there IS a more elegant solution. Thanks,
