The examples shown are for Red Hat Enterprise Linux (which we now have binary RPMs for), but the examples should translate easily enough to other Linux platforms. The commands shown build the RPMs as root. This isn't usually recommended, but the general approach is the same.
If you find SRPM versions that are newer than the ones listed, you should always use those instead. These versions are accurate at the time of writing.
rpmbuild's -D option to inform it of a specific package version to use for dependencies. For example, xml-security, opensaml and shibboleth have a dependency on xerces-c-devel, but I installed xerces261-c-devel. With the addition of -D 'xercesver 261' to the rpmbuild invocations for xml-security, opensaml and shibboleth, the rpmbuilds succeeded.-D was helpful was on FC6 where I had apache-2.2 installed but the shibboleth-1.3-11 SRPM defaulted to apache-2.0 on FC6. With the addition of -D '_with_apache22 --enable-apache-22', the rpmbuild succeeded.Download the Shibboleth SRPMs and save them to /usr/src/redhat/SRPMS/ .
You must have the platform's development tools installed.

You must have the httpd-devel package (or something similar on other distros) installed in order to build the shibboleth package. You can find it on your distribution cd (Package Management -> Web Server -> httpd-devel).
In RHEL AS4 these packages can be found on the CDs. The package httpd-devel has dependency's towards apr-devel, apr-util-devel, pcre-devel. Unfortunately these RPMs are spreadout over the four CDs
