[asterisk-users] Building an RPM from Asterisk 1.4

[Douglas Garstang]

Ok, so I'm no rpm expert, but Asterisk 1.4.11 comes with an asterisk.spec
file. Running rpmbuild against it yields errors, the first one being that
the 'Copyright' tag is unknown, and that I need a License tag instead.

Fixed that, and...

Processing files: asterisk-CVS-1
error: File not found: /tmp/asterisk/etc/asterisk
error: File not found by glob: /tmp/asterisk/etc/asterisk/*.conf
error: File not found by glob: /tmp/asterisk/etc/asterisk/*.adsi
error: File not found: /tmp/asterisk/etc/asterisk/extensions.ael
error: File not found: /tmp/asterisk/etc/rc.d/init.d/asterisk

.... And so on. What am I missing here? Why doesn't rpm build the
/tmp/asterisk directory itself? Why is it looking for files that obviously
don't exist?
