Raspberrypi-vc Packaging 0.1 (3nd entry)

Building the raspberrypi-vc from source was harder than I thought. The spec file I got from the source RPM was setup in a very complicated way ( for me ) but I understood it in a way. I found a makefile in the hello_pi folder and tried to work it from there and see if it would build it from source.

These lines were added to the %build section:

cd hardfp/opt/vc/src/hello_pi/
make -C libs/ilclient
make -C libs/vgfont
./rebuild.sh

RPM build errors:

Good news was at least there was make file that would actually run. The error 'interface/vcos/vcos.h: No such file or directory was because the ilcient.c file needed it to proceed with make. The problem is this file can only be gotten from raspberrypi/userland on github and it is itself, another source code different from what i am working on. I will be working to see if there is a way on my next entry.

PS. This is a very difficult packaging process from the normal packages I tried before. Tinkering with the make files and scripts are not my best assets but I will try the best I can to accomplish a build from source package.
