Shared library spec file

[schander]

Hi,
Can anyone help me write a spec file for installing shared libraries?
What I'm not sure about is what to include in the %files section, as it will need the headers aswell as the shared libs etc
I have created a package for debian and the structure is:
/usr/lib/libusb_pico-1.0.la
/usr/lib/libps6000.la
/usr/lib/libps6000.so.1.0.0
/usr/lib/libusb_pico-1.0.so.1.0.0
/usr/lib/libusb_pico-1.0.a
/usr/lib/pkgconfig/libusb_pico-1.0.pc
/usr/share/doc/ps6000linux/changelog.Debian.gz
/usr/share/doc/ps6000linux/copyright
/usr/share/doc/ps6000linux/README.Debian
/usr/include/libusb_pico-1.0/libusb.h
/usr/include/libps6000-1.3/PicoStatus.h
/usr/include/libps6000-1.3/ps6000Api.h
/DEBIAN/control
/DEBIAN/postrm
/DEBIAN/shlibs
/DEBIAN/md5sums
/DEBIAN/postinst

How do I replicate this? Should I just put the everything listed above under /usr in the %files section (excluding the debian specific stuff)?

Thanks

Easiest to just look at a package that already does what you want as an example.
In your case, something similar might be libusb1. Just install the srpm and look over
the spec file.

D'oh. What a simple solution. :D

Hi folks,
I looked at the libusb1 spec file. I tried to build the libusb package, however because I don't know the mappings that are used by the build system I have to build it as root, which on all accounts is a big no no, from what I've read.
So my question is does anyone know what the standard mappings are for building these rpm's, e.g. what should %{_lib} be mapped to?
The libusb src rpm i'm trying to build is from here (http://rpmfind.net/linux/rpm2html/search.php?query=libusb1)

Thanks
Satpal
