Creating rpm of modified gnumeric: need help with rpmbuild/spec

[gnumeric4kids]

Hi everyone,
I'm trying to create an rpm file of a modified gnumeric 1.8.3, but after running rpmbuild -ba gnumeric.spec I still get no .rpm file in i386 directory, do you know if I need to make special changes in the spec file? (our modifications made to gnumeric don't require any new library), is there anything you think I can do to get this process to work? (I have followed the instructions on Rpm manuals regarding where to place the tar.gz files and the uncompressed directories)
Thanks a lot for your help/time !

Hi!

Please make sure, you have a proper directory structure for creating a new rpm. BUILD,SOURCE,SPECS,RPMS,SRPMS etc
In the RPMS folder you may have folders like i386, i486,i586,i686, and noarch..

Also make sure in the ExclusiveArch header, that you have explicitly mentioned any architecture, if it is mentioned, the rpm will go the specified architecture folder mentioned, else by default it will go to the noarch folder. You can see your rpm file

rpmname-release-version-src-architecture.rpm

in the corresponding directory...


Hope this information will come to use.
