Hi Fabricio.
These are two concepts I wasn't familiar with.
When I went to /usr/lib/rpm/macros I noticed that it had
%_prefix /usr
I changed this to /opt and saw no change in where it was installed too..
it still installs to /BUILD.
The build root is set to
232:%_buildrootdir %{_topdir}/BUILDROOT
235:%buildroot %{_buildrootdir}/%{name}-%{version}-%{release}.%{_arch}
And when I look at _topdir it points to %{getenv:HOME}/rpmbuild..
