1.4.13 RPMs (rpm.make)

The RPM project provides rules for automatically generating RPM spec files in order to make RPM distributions. Note that this project makefile is included automatically when you include any other project type in your GNUmakefile. It is non necessary to include rpm.make.

Except for PACKAGE_NAME, which is required, all the following variables are optional. It is recommended that you set them anyway in order to provide the standard information that is present in most RPM distributions.

RPM: PACKAGE_NAME

PACKAGE_NAME defines the name of the RPM distribution. In most cases this will be the same as the name of your project type. For instance, if you are creating a application, and have set APP_NAME to ‘MyApplication’, Then set PACKAGE_NAME to the same thing, or just use PACKAGE_NAME=$(APP_NAME). if PACKAGE_NAME is not set, it defaults to unnamed-package

RPM: PACKAGE_VERSION

Set PACKAGE_VERSION to the release version number of your package. If not set, it defaults to 0.0.1

RPM: GNUSTEP_INSTALLATION_DOMAIN

Set GNUSTEP_INSTALLATION_DOMAIN to the domain where you want to install the software. This should be either SYSTEM), LOCAL, or USER. If not set it defaults to LOCAL.

RPM: PACKAGE_NEEDS_CONFIGURE

Set this to YES if a configure script needs to be run before compilation

In addition you need to provide a stub spec file named for the package name, such as this example libobjc.spec.in file:
