You can temporarily create undead easily (indeed, I was always fond of villains defiling the corpses of the recently dead by raising them mid-fight to help him out). For permanent undead, or pretty much permanent anything, you have to use Creation Feats. Right now we're considering having only four: Craft Charged Item, Craft Magic Arms & Armor, Craft Permanent Spell, and Craft Wondrous Item. Permanent undead would fall under 'permanent spell.'
