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.

NAME
extract_font_range - Extracts a range of characters from a font. Allegro game programming library.
SYNOPSIS
#include <allegro.h>
FONT *extract_font_range(FONT *f, int begin, int end)
DESCRIPTION
This function extracts a character range from a font and returns a new font that contains only the range of characters selected by this
function. You can pass -1 for either the lower or upper bound if you want to select all characters from the start or to the end of the
font. Example:
FONT *myfont;
FONT *capitals;
FONT *fontcopy;
...
/* Create a font of only capital letters */
capitals = extract_font_range(myfont, 'A', 'Z');
/* Create a copy of the font */
fontcopy = extract_font_range(myfont, -1, -1);
...
destroy_font(capitals);
destroy_font(fontcopy);
RETURN VALUE
Returns a pointer to the new font or NULL on error. Remember that you are responsible for destroying the font when you are finished with it
to avoid memory leaks.
