Hi,
I am a new user of ROOT and was trying to build an RPM using rpmbuild, however I ran into some difficulties.
OS: Fedora 10 x86_64
I extracted the tarball and did
> $./configure redhat
in the top directory of the source tree to generate a spec file. I used this specfile to build ROOT using,
> $rpmbuild -ba /path/to/root.spec
This generates the rpm packages, root-system-<version>.rpm and libroot-static-<version>.rpm. However when I try to install these, RPM complains about a dependency, root-ttf-<something>.rpm. I looked in the spec file, it has that package tagged as requires.
In the source tree, ./build/packages/common/ttf-root-installer.control mentions,
> Package: ttf-root-installer
> Architecture: all
> Section: contrib/x11
> Depends: ${misc:Depends}, wget (>= 1.9.1-4), xfonts-utils | xutils (>= 4.0.2), debconf (>= 1.2.0)
> Provides: root-ttf
> Conflicts: ttf-root
> Description: True type fonts for ROOT - installer package
> This package will install the True Type Fonts (TTF) used by ROOT.
> These fonts are provided by Microsoft. Note, that you may not

I have to mention, the machine I am trying to build on is not connected to the Internet. So where do I get these fonts beforehand? And how do I tell rpmbuild where they are?
Thanks in advance for any help.
