There's no guide, but maybe you can try another approach.

Centos is a whitebranded version of RHEL, which is based on Fedora Linux.

Today, Fedora ships with package of redland (under extras I think), so I
suggest you start from their packages, or source packages, and use those.

The ones I made for fc7 or later are probably not as good as those and I'm
considering not making any newer RPMS since the distributor ones will be
much better maintained (I don't use FC, RHEL or Centos)

http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/packageinfo?packageID=4774 shows rpm
builds up to fc12 made within the last few weeks.
