How to install .src.rpm ? ( source rpm )
Hi,
I have got few RPM's from rpmfind.net ( mainly gcc ).
But it seems to be src files instead of the image.
so I think we have to build the src files according to target machine using rpmbuild.
Can any one help me with
1) Various options of rpm build that have to be taken care
2) Steps to follow after rpmbuild
3) How a tar.gz install can be made into rpm
4) How to gather missing additional libraries ( missing rpm's ) along with current rpm's.
I have used apt-get in some linux distributions where we get
apt-get install <s/w name>
But with RPM I need some more inputs.
Thanks in advance,
Sivaswami Jeganathan.

mdbfontsize
mdbFontSize(5) The m17n Library mdbFontSize(5)
NAME
mdbFontSize - Font Size
DESCRIPTION
In some case, a font contains incorrect information about its size (typically in the case of a hacked TrueType font), which results in a
bad text layout when such a font is used in combination with the other fonts. To overcome this problem, the m17n library loads information
about font-size adjustment from the m17n database by the tags <font, resize>. The data is loaded as a plist of this format.
FONT-SIZE-ADJUSTMENT ::= PER-FONT *
PER-FONT ::= '(' FONT-SPEC ADJUST-RATIO ')'
FONT-SPEC ::=
'(' [ FOUNDRY FAMILY
[ WEIGHT [ STYLE [ STRETCH [ ADSTYLE ]]]]]
REGISTRY ')'
ADJUST-RATIO ::= INTEGER
FONT-SPEC is to specify properties of a font. FOUNDRY to REGISTRY are symbols corresponding to Mfoundry to Mregistry property of a font.
See m17nFont for the meaning of each property.
ADJUST-RATIO is an integer number specifying by percentage how much the font-size must be adjusted. For instance, this PER-FONT:
((devanagari-cdac) 150)
instructs the font handler of the m17n library to open a font of 1.5 times bigger than a requested size on opening a font whose registry is
'devanagari-cdac'.
