Most source distributions come with a makefile simply named 'Makefile'.
Generally you'd type "./configure; make; make install" to compile and
install to /usr/local.
I'm not sure how to put existing binaries into an rpm. Normally you build
the rpm from the source tree. For that you need a *.spec file. Check to
see if the package you are building has a spec file, then use the rpmbuild
command to build the rpm.
