there some problems with this package:
1) don't use /usr/share use %{_datadir} instead
2) use _smp_mflags for make
3) use RPM_OPT_FLAGS or %{optflags}
4) no rpmlint warnings/errors ;)

Fixed in the following links.

I set the "Categories" to "Graphics" in desktop file ? Do you have a better idea ?

Use "System"

Some comments (just watched your spec file and tried to rebuild)

ping?

Change source path to
http://downloads.sourceforge.net/%{name}/%{name}_%{version}.tar.gz

> * Please follow the fedora usage of build root
>   (section: "BuildRoot tag" of

Change  BuildRoot to %{_tmppath}/%{name}-%{version}-%{release}-root-%(%{__id_u} -n)
Use only %{buildroot} now (no more mixed with $RPM_BUILD_ROOT)

> * export CFLAGS="%{optflags}"
>   This is not needed as %configure sets it (please check what %configure

This has been removed. It is implicitly done by %configure.

> * Please set vendor id for desktop file (the section "desktop-file-install usage"

vendor Id set to fedora.

> * We now recommend %defattr(-,root,root,-)

Done.

Add BuildRequires:  desktop-file-utils

Some remarks.

* Fedora specific compilation flags are not honored
  (Compiler flags of http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging/Guidelines )
  Check the log:
  http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/getfile?taskID=92083&name=build.log
  Also debuginfo rpm does not contain debug information and this
  should be fixed.

* (From build log)
  Suppress the call of automated autoheader ("touch"ing some files,
  i.e. fixing the timestamp of some files should fix this issue)

* Update License tag. (IMO this is GPLv2, not GPLv2+)

* Change the encoding of "ChangeLog" from ISO-8859-1 to UTF-8.

CFLAGS entry in Makefile is empty. I did not find yet why configure substitutes
@CFLAGS@ with an empty string in Makefile.in. I try this which seems to work:

|for f in `find -name Makefile`
|    do
|    sed -i -e "s/^CFLAGS =.*$/CFLAGS = %{optflags}/" $f
|    done

but I do not think it's acceptable. Do you have an idea about what could be wrong ?

The culprit is a bug in configure.in
...
CFLAGS=""
AC_SUBST(CFLAGS)
...

Here they overwrite CFLAGS with an empty string, which causes the configure
script to propagate this empty string into the Makefiles.

The "right fix" would be upstream to remove these two lines. They are plain wrong.

A work-around applicable to packagers is to override CFLAGS from the
environment. I.e. use
make CFLAGS=${RPM_OPT_FLAGS}
in all places in your spec where you invoke "make".

This is what I have done, thanks for your help.

Well, actually %attr(755,root,root) can be removed.
Other things are okay.

Ok ,I will fix this before the first cvs import.
