Correct me if I'm wrong, but doesn't the latest tarball incorporate Theo's
spec file? If so, you can build a tuned RPM straight from the tarball:
rpmbuild -ta xxxxx.tar.gz
To build as a mortal, you need to have a ~/.rpmmacros file with a line
declaring your %_topdir and an RPM build tree under the declared directory. I
create a separate user "buildmeister" for building RPM's and put in its home
directory a .rpmmacros containing this:
%_topdir /home/buildmeister
I then create the directories:
mkdir -p ~buildmeister/{BUILD,RPMS/i386,RPMS/noarch,SOURCES,SPECS,SRPMS}
(If you have cpan2rpm, you can create .rpmmacros and the directory tree with
one of its options.)
su to this user and run rpmbuild in this sandbox to "build from source".
