build rpm with SPEC file for packaging .jar and some .sh files..

Good day people,

I have posted this under Linux' Red Hat session but no luck.
Hope can have some luck here with my problem.

Hereby wish to have your advise for below:

I have some .jar files, some script files (install.sh, action.sh) , and a libaes.so file. Basically, the .jar files compute the operation of my system and define the working directory for my system.

My current scenario:
i trigger install.sh to set up the my service with /etc/init.d and with command service xSystem start to start up my system.

service xSystem start will eventually trigger action.sh with passing parameter start to run the .jar file.

Now i intend package my system into rpm. I tried to write the SPEC file to build the rpm but i failed. Hope to have some guidance here.

Below is my SPEC file content:

Code:

# This is a spec file for xSystem

%define _topdir	 	/usr/src/redhat
%define name		xSystem
%define release		1
%define version 	1.0
%define buildroot %{_topdir}/%{name}-%{version}-root

BuildRoot:	%{buildroot}
Summary: 		GNU xSystem
License: 		GPL
Name: 			%{name}
Version: 		%{version}
Release: 		%{release}
Source: 		%{name}-%{version}.tar.gz
Prefix: 		/usr
Group: 			Applications/System

%description
xSystem's description is here.


%prep
%build
/%{name}/.install.sh

%files

I tar all my .jar, .sh, and .so files and place it under /usr/src/redhat/SOURCES and place my SPEC file under /usr/src/redhat/SPECS .. then i execute
rpmbuild xSystem.spec from the SPECS directory.

But unfortunately, i can't find any .rpm file after executing that command.
What i have missed out?

please advice again.. I have come across with reference on making rpm with spec files.. but most of the one i found is working on .c file.. and not really matching my scenario. I have run out of idea..

I appreciate for guidance given here.

Many thanks again.

jh_generateorbitdir

JH_GENERATEORBITDIR(1)						    Javahelper						    JH_GENERATEORBITDIR(1)

NAME

       jh_generateorbitdir - Creates and populates an orbit dir used by pde-build for third-party jar files.

SYNOPSIS

       jh_generateorbitdir [debhelperoptions] [--orbit-dir=dir] [orbit-dep[...]]

DESCRIPTION

       jh_generateorbitdir is a javahelper program that handles creation of an orbit dependency dir. This directory has to be populated with non-
       eclipse jar files. However, eclipse refers to these jars by their "symbolic name". jh_generateorbitdir can extract this name from the jar's
       manifest (provided it has the OSGi metadata) and create a symlink to it.

       jh_generateorbitdir will replace regular files with symlinks if they are present in the orbit dir and clash with the name of one of the
       orbit jars. If an orbit jar name clashes with a symlink in the orbit dir, then jh_generateorbitdir will assume that the given jar has
       already been symlinked correctly. In this case the jar file is still recorded in the cache (see below).

       jh_generateorbitdir will also check the default installation for jar files on Debian systems (at the time of writing /usr/share/java), if
       it cannot find the jar in the current dir.

       Jar files replaced by jh_generateorbitdir will be recorded so that jh_installeclipse can replace with symlinks them post install.

FILES

       debian/eclipse.orbitdeps
	   List of orbit dependencies - one per line. This can be used as an alternative to passing it per command line.

OPTIONS

       --orbit-dir=dir
	   Specifies the directory from where the orbit-dir is or should be created. Defauls to "debian/.eclipse_build/orbitdeps".

EXAMPLE

	 jh_generateorbitdir --orbit-dir orbit asm3 oro

       Will generate a folder called orbit with two symlinks based on asm3 and oro's symbolic name.

SEE ALSO

       debhelper(7)

       This program is a part of javahelper and uses debhelper as backend. There are also tutorials in /usr/share/doc/javahelper.
