Description Andreas Thienemann 2006-05-16 23:23:45 UTC 
Building the package in mock fails:

make[2]: Entering directory
`/builddir/build/BUILD/xorg-x11-fonts-7.0/font-adobe-utopia-type1-1.0.1'

Normally, the makefile would call 
$(FCCACHE) /var/tmp/xorg-x11-fonts-7.0-3-buildroot/usr/share/X11/fonts/Type1
but as $(FCCACHE) is undefined due to no fc-cache binary being installed, it
just tries to execute
/var/tmp/xorg-x11-fonts-7.0-3-buildroot/usr/share/X11/fonts/Type1 which
naturally fails.

Installing fontconfig fixes this.

Attached is a pathc, adding the necessary BuildRequirement.

Comment 2 Mike A. Harris 2006-05-23 13:55:26 UTC 
There is no reason for the makefiles to be invoking fc-cache at build time.
That introduces a totally unnecessary dependency on fontconfig.

The proper fix is to patch out fc-cache from being invoked at all.  We can
do that in a future build.

I'd recommend reporting this to X.Org bugzilla also, to have the fc-cache
call removed upstream.
Comment 3 Mike A. Harris 2006-05-26 17:26:38 UTC 
Ugh.  That means patching each individual font tarball, and reinvoking
autotools on each one, and then having to adjust the patch every time
upstream changes one of the font tarballs.

Since that would be a maintenance nightmare, I've decided to just add
the dependency on fontconfig instead, although I think upstream should
not be invoking fc-cache at all.
