There's no single resource, other than mailing lists, and you don't want
to be hitting that :-)
If you truly want to compile and install (most people just want to install),
the easiest way by far is
Copy a source rpm (i.e. file that ends .src.rpm) into /usr/tmp.
Type
rpm --rebuild file.src.rpm # change name to taste
cd /usr/src/redhat/RPMS/i386
rpm -U --force file.src.rpm
and that's it. (Note: the --force is only necessary to re-install)
Watching what happens will show you a lot ...
