Building gLExec from src rpm

How to build gLExec from a .src.rpm

This wiki used to describe instructions for the gLite era RPMs, the old page can be found here.

The now advised method of rebuilding gLExec from source RPM is using the Nikhef RPMs.

You can use the following shell script, which can be downloaded here. Adapt the variables at the top to point to right directories and run it in a temporary directory as ordinary user. The resulting binary RPM will be found in the RPMS/*/ subdirectory.
