## Setup your environment
First of all, you have to use a non-root account.
- Create the necessary directories : `mkdir -p ~/rpmbuild/{BUILD,RPMS,S{OURCE,PEC,RPM}S}`
- Tell rpmbuild where to build by adding the following in your `.rpmmacros` file : `echo -e “%_topdir\t$HOME/rpmbuild” » ~/.rpmmacros`
## Building package
There are several ways to build a rpm, depending on what kind of stuff you have to deal with.
### Building from a tar.gz archive containing a .spec file
Run the following on you .tar.gz archive : `rpmbuild -tb memcached-1.4.0.tar.gz`. When the building process ends, you will find your package in a `$HOME/rpmbuild/RPMS/x86_64/` like directory, depending on your architecture.
### Building from a spec file
- `rpmbuild -v -bb ./contrib/redhat/collectd.spec`
- If you are missing some dependencies : `rpmbuild -v -bb ./contrib/redhat/collectd.spec 2>&1 |awk '/is needed/ {print $1;}'|xargs yum install -y`
