How to make RPMs of the wxWindows sources
=========================================
This is just a short description. It is assumed that you know what you are
doing. I do not take any responsibility for damaged systems, use at your own
risk!
1. Extract the archive in a temporary directory. Since you are
reading this text, you already have done this.
2. Copy the .spec file to
(rpm-dir)/SPECS
3. Copy the .tgz file to
(rpm-dir)/SOURCES
4. Start the RPM manager with
rpm -bb (rpm-dir)/SPECS/(.spec-file)
or with
rpm -ba (rpm-dir)/SPECS/(.spec-file)
(the latter also builds the .src.rpm-file)
5. You now have a nice set of RPMs in (rpm-dir)/RPMS
Example
=======
Here's how to install e.g. wxMotif 2.1.14:
cp wxMotif.spec /usr/src/packages/SPECS
cp wxMotif-2.1.14.tgz /usr/src/packages/SOURCES
rpm -bb /usr/src/packages/SPECS/wxMotif.spec
Install the resulting packages with
rpm --install /usr/src/packages/RPMS/i386/wxMotif-2.1.14-0.i386.rpm
rpm --install /usr/src/packages/RPMS/i386/wxMotif-devel-2.1.14-0.i386.rpm
rpm --install /usr/src/packages/RPMS/i386/wxMotif-gl-2.1.14-0.i386.rpm
That's all. You should now have a working wxWindows library.

and try to build some samples using makefile.unx ("make -f makefile.unx")
so that they use wx-config in the PATH and not from the build tree
