BUILDING & INSTALLING FAM USING RPM If you prefer to use RPM to keep track of installed files on your system, you should be able to easily generate an RPM package in the fam tree: ./configure make rpm rpm -ivh build/rpm/...rpm-name... See the INSTALL file for instructions on starting fam after you've installed it, as the RPM package doesn't handle that yet. If you would like to build an RPM for an architecture other than i386, edit the "BuildArchitectures" lines in build/rpm/rpm.spec and build/rpm/Makefile. If you want to pass special flags to the compiler during the build, either add --with-CFLAGS="whatever" to the line which runs the configure script in build/rpm/fam.spec, or set the CFLAGS and CXXFLAGS environment variables. (See the normal INSTALL file for notes on why you might want to do this.)
