auto2rpm README
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

This is auto2rpm, a tool for converting source tarballs using the autotools
(autoconf, automake and libtool) into rpms. It will automatically
generate a spec file for a given autoconfiscated tarball and then build
source and binary rpms.

auto2rpm requires a relatively recent version of rpm. I developed
it using rpm 4.1.1 on RedHat 8.0. (Note: 4.1.1 is not the version
that comes with RH8.0. I recommend upgrading, because the default version
has a large number of problems.)

auto2rpm also requires the %makeinstall macro, which is available
on RedHat 8.0 and may also be available on other Linux distributions
such as Mandrake and PLD Linux. It is not available on RedHat 6.2.
If your Linux distribution does not support %makeinstall,
please let me know.

Please feel free to contact me regarding auto2rpm.
