Hello I am trying to compile a package called 'testdisk' I extracted the files out of the source rpm file in this case it was testdisk-6.11.3-1.src.rpm
The error I get is as follows:
expansion error nothing provides ncurses-static, libjpeg-static, zlib-static
We generally frown upon usage of static libraries (security updates are much harder). If we have them at all, they are usually either in the -devel package, or sometime in the -devel-static package. In this case you are lucky to 66%: ncurses-devel zlib-devel-static no static libjpeg. You'll have to live with the dynamic one. Depending on the usecases of testdisk it might be a good idea to also use the other dynamic libs, not the static ones.
