So, I should maybe install a minimal install on a virtual machine? Then
when it needs packages I can add those to the dependencies list? It
strikes me the problem with that would be that once you've added a load
of packages for one RPM, then started on another, you'd be back to the
same problem as before and need to keep reinstalling Mageia for each RPM
you do. There must be a better way than that.

It sounds like there is a load of trial and error then? I am sure I must
misunderstand, building reliable RPMs must be a relatively
straightforward thing once you're up and running surely?
