[WBEL-users] Source for rpmbuild

[Daniel J. Summers]

Greetings - it's been a while since I poked my head in here.  :)

I'm actually not running WBEL anymore, but I think what I may need to do 
is a chroot with it in it.  When I was running WBEL, I would download 
the source RPM for xine and xine-ui, then run "rpmbuild -ta [source]".  
This would build the library and the development package.  I now have an 
AMD64 (x86_64) machine running Ubuntu.  I've searched and searched, but 
I can't figure out how to install rpmbuild.  (I know, Ubuntu uses deb 
packages - but I actually redistributed these RPMs for the project, 
since they're not included in Red Hat's distribution.)  Since it's 
64-bit already, I won't have to cross-compile, but I need to make an RPM.

Someone made a suggestion to run alien on the deb package to turn it 
into an RPM - but, that seems like a hack to me, and since I 
redistribute them, I'd rather go with a process I know works.  Any ideas?
