Here is your problem. You are trying to install derot.txt from the root (/) of your system. Most likely, you don't have a /mine directory in your root, do you? I guess the line should be starting via install -d ShellScripts/mine/derot.txt ... When you start a file location via / the computer will always look to the root of your system. In SPEC files, we usually use relative paths (that do not begin with a /) to denote files from our source tree. Good luck and have fun!
