Then you just need to either generate the file list by walking the build root and useing %files -f, or you can explicitly declare each file in %files, or you can just list a directory under which all the files will be installed in the build root (provided they are all in the same place). I don't like the last one, because any directories your package should owned won't be owned by it. All will work, its just a nit.
