How to build RedHat RPMs for 1.x FS (1.98/1.99)

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----


1) Download kernel sources to a machine with an appropriate gcc. Your easiest
bet is to build 8.x RPMs (gcc3) on an 8.x machine, and 7.x RPMs on a 7.2 or
7.3 machine. (I've not built on anything earlier than 7.2, AFAIK, so I can't
explicitly speak to it, but it should work fine.)

2) Extract kernel sources.

rpm2cpio kernel-source-2.4.18-24.7.x.i386.rpm | cpio -d -i
mv usr/src/linux-2.4* .

3) Clean up the kernel sources.

make mrproper

4) Remove erroneous configs from configs directory

Anything with x86_64
Anything with uml
Anything with BOOT

5) Extract an appropriate FreeS/WAN source.

6) Make the RPM.

make RH_KERNELSRC=/path/to/kernel/src rpm

7) If successful, collect your pair of RPMs from rpms/RPMS/i386.
