Is there any way to specify a target filespec that is independent

ie. on the build machine the source file is in

machine.
I can't find anything in the Maximum RPM book to point me in a
direction to
go.
I would have thought it would be something in the %files list.
The %files list should include the install, not the build, path.
RPM_BUILD_ROOT (or the equivalently valued macro %{buildroot}) is
where a mapping between build path and install path is achieved,
basically
by copying from the build path to the buildroot, something like the
following
BuildRoot: %{_tmppath}/%{name}
...
%install
rm -rf %{buildroot}
mkdir -p %{buildroot}/bin
...
cp /home/me/myproject/src/myfile %{buildroot}/bin
...
%files
%defattr(-,root,root)
/bin/myfile
It sounds like you are not using a BuildRoot: directive at all
however, but
that's just my guess.
