+Building Flight Gear RPM package for Red Hat
+
+G.Richard Keech <rkeech@redhat.com>
+
+2003-10-29
+
+This directory contains the files which, along with
+the source code tar files, can be used to build
+an RPM package targeted at a Red Hat Linux system.
+
+To build flighgear from source do the following:
+
+0.	be root on your system (actually it's possible to
+	build from source as a non-root user but
+	I won't go into that now).
+
+1.	copy flightgear.spec to /usr/src/redhat/SPECS/
+
+2.	copy flightgear.48.png to /usr/src/redhat/SOURCES
+
+3.	copy flightgear.desktop to /usr/src/redhat/SOURCES
+
+4.	obtain fgfs-base-0.9.3.tar.gz and FlightGear-0.9.3.tar.gz
+	and copy them into /usr/src/redhat/SOURCES.
+
+5.	obtain and install SimGear (>= 0.3.4).
+
+6.	look in the BuildRequires section of flightgear.spec
+	and check that all the packages referred to are
+	installed.
+
+7.	cd /usr/src/redhat/SPECS
+	rpmbuild -ba flightgear.spec
+
+that's it.
