Hammer & Screwdriver compile rpm-4.0 source

Hello Unix experts,

I downloaded rpm-4.0 source from ftp.redhat.com and tried to make it. There are something I could not understand.

- Makefile.in and Makefile.am instead of Makefile
- file INSTALL doesn't show clearly the steps of compiling

What are these 2 files, Makefile.in and Makefile.am? What are they for?

Is there anyone who has experience of compiling rpm-4.0 source code? I'd like you to give me some tips.

I am using Red Hat Linux 6.0, kernel-2.2.5-15.i586.

Thanks!

Eddie

RPMSPEC(8)						      System Manager's Manual							RPMSPEC(8)

NAME
rpmspec - RPM Spec Tool SYNOPSIS
QUERYING SPEC FILES: rpmspec {-q|--query} [select-options] [query-options] SPEC_FILE ... select-options [--rpms] [--srpms] query-options [--qf,--queryformat QUERYFMT] [--target TARGET_PLATFORM] QUERY OPTIONS The general form of an rpm spec query command is rpm {-q|--query} [select-options] [query-options] You may specify the format that the information should be printed in. To do this, you use the --qf|--queryformat QUERYFMT option, followed by the QUERYFMT format string. See rpm(8) for details. SELECT OPTIONS --rpms Operate on the binary package header(s). --srpm Operate on the source package header(s). SEE ALSO
popt(3), rpm(8), rpmdb(8), rpmkeys(8), rpmsign(8), rpm2cpio(8), rpmbuild(8), rpmspec --help - as rpm supports customizing the options via popt aliases it's impossible to guarantee that what's described in the manual matches what's available. http://www.rpm.org/ <URL:http://www.rpm.org/> AUTHORS
