Compiling the source RPM file.

Can you write command here, how you have applied patches ?

I went into the extracted tarball and tried applying patches one after 
another like this - 
  patch -p1 < ../<patchname>

Packages (.deb, .rpm and others) meant to build and installed automatically.

You can build and install it by following command

$sudo rpm -i <package-name>

I am just interested in fully-patched source I want to compile and 
install it myself without any rpm tools - more clearly - 
I want to - 
(1) extract the source tarball available with the rpm package
(2) patch this source with all the packages available in the rpm package
(3) configure , build and install this source at *custom* location

** I do not want to use any rpm tools for this **

I have a rpm for a module  which I extracted like -
rpm2cpio numactl-2.0.7-3.el6.src.rpm | cpio -idmv

then I extracted the source like -
tar -xzvf numactl-2.0.7-3.tar.gz

then I tried to apply all the patches to available with
this rpm to the extracted source which results in Hunks and
rejections.

I want to apply all patches and compile the source and get
an exe. I am not much aware of the rpm build procedure

I want to do similar thing to kernel source also

Please help me...
