## Instructions for building the official rpms. ## The process used to create the official rpms is as follows: Download latest stable libevent from http://www.monkey.org/~provos/libevent/ The first step of compiling libevent is to configure it as follows: ./configure --enable-static --disable-shared Complete the "make" and "make install". You will need to be root, or sudo -s, to complete the "make install". Check for a successful universal binary of libevent.a in, by default, /usr/local/lib by using the following command: "file /usr/local/lib/libevent.a" Download and Extract the latest tor source code from https://www.torproject.org/download In the resulting directory: LIBS=-lrt ./configure make dist-rpm You should have at least two, maybe three, rpms. There should be the binary i386.rpm, a src.rpm, and on redhat/centos machines, a debuginfo.rpm.
