[NBLUG/talk] rpm question

[Mark Street]

php-4.3.3-6.src.rpm is distributed with Fedora.  Install it onto your system 
with an rpm -ivh php-4.3.3-6.src.rpm.  change directories to 
/usr/src/redhat/SPECS and take a look at the .spec file for php.  NOTE the 
configure options that are passed and how php is configured when redhat built 
the stock rpm.

Now, add your configure options to the spec file in the appropriate place.

Now rebuild the source and create a custom rpm for your system.
as root;

# rpmbuild -ba php.spec
....
boom custom php packages

change dirs to /usr/src/redhat/RPMS/i386/ and install your custom php rpm from 
there.
