How to build an RPM: 0) Install dependencies: This assumes Fedora 24 or higher. dnf install gcc-c++ make git libmad-devel desktop-file-utils libogg-devel libvorbis-devel flac-devel zlib-devel nasm SDL2-devel freetype-devel fluidsynth-devel libtheora-devel libpng-devel libjpeg-turbo-devel alsa-lib-devel wxGTK3-devel boost-devel rpm-build 1) Collect sources: Place scummvm-%{version}.tar.bz2, scummvm-tools-%{version}.tar.bz2, faad2-2.8.6.tar.gz, libmpeg2-0.5.1.tar.gz in ~/rpmbuild/SOURCES . This assumes that the RPM topdir is ~/rpmbuild/ . If you have set a different topdir, adapt appropriately. faad2 is available at https://sourceforge.net/projects/faac/files/faad2-src/faad2-2.8.0/faad2-2.8.6.tar.gz/download libmpeg2 at http://libmpeg2.sourceforge.net/files/libmpeg2-0.5.1.tar.gz 2) Build the rpms: Run: rpmbuild -ba scummvm.spec rpmbuild -ba scummvm-tools.spec The RPMs should now be built and placed in ~/rpmbuild/RPMS/x86_64 and the source RPMs in ~/rpmbuild/SRPMS Note: faad2 and libmpeg2 are statically linked into the scummvm binary because Fedora do not carry the corresponding packages.
