<PRE>I'm having a go at building an RPM. I have managed to compile this 
particular piece of software on my laptop under Open SuSE, but would 
like to compile on my desktop and thought it would be a really good idea 
to finally have a proper go at building RPMs.

So, I'm ploughing through the tutorials and one thing I can't work out 
is just how to comprehensively list all the BuildRequires. I seem to 
remember when I compiled it on SuSE it had a couple of dependencies such 
as boot-devel and I suppose I could compile it on my machine and see 
what  it requests, but I assume that is no good if another machine tries 
to install the RPM and I don't list one of the dependencies because it 
happened to be installed on my machine.

Make sense?!

So, how do I make a list of that please?

Also, I tried taking kwrite as an example, downloaded the .src RPM from 
a website (couldn't work out the wget thing) and managed to &quot;blindly&quot; 
build the RPM. That lists as shed load of files, mostly libraries that 
are needed. Again, how do I find these for this particular package? Do I 
need to compile first and use a tool that extracts all this information 
somehow?

I'm wondering whether there's a very simple, hello world find of spec 
file somewhere I could look at. I'm not convinced kwrite was the best 
example to take.

Thanks.

</PRE>
