Building compiled software with RPM packaging


RPM packaging is very useful for non-binary applications and close to a necessity for binary applications.

The only thing that will change is the Spec file.

Let's see for example the Spec file needed to compile and package a simple Hello World! application written in C:

%global commit0 7c288b9d80a6ef525c0cca8a744b32e018eaa386 
%global shortcommit0 %(c=%{commit0}; echo ${c:0:7})
