[wplug] tarballs to RPMs

[Robert Coutch]

Any one here ever turned tarballs into RPM's?
I'm trying to get started doing this.
I looked at KRPMbuilder but I'm not sure it even works.
I have a source tarball that compiles fine using ./configure then make (it's 
MPlayer).

I tried:

rpm -ta --target athlon-SuSE-linux MPlayer-1.0pre3.tar

but got the error:

Building for target athlon-SuSE-linux
line 1: Unknown tag: name       mplayer_wine

Can an RPM be made as simply as I can run ./configure, make and make install 
on a tarball?


Thanks for any tips on this,

Bob
