spec file issue for qt application

[amtm]

So like many others I am new to building RPM packages and am having issues with the spec file I have created. It's been made using info I've gathered from various posts here so it might just be horribly mangled but I'd appreciate some help since I can't seem to get it to work no matter how many changes I seem to incorporate into it. Thanks.

delaycut corrects delay and is also able to cut audio files 
coded ac3, eac3, dts, mpa and wav. It is also able to fix 
CRC errors in ac3 and mpa files.

Hi
Have a look here for cross-distribution;
http://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Buil...ribution_howto
No need for all those defines...

Your first stop should be here;
http://en.opensuse.org/Portalackaging

The source needs to be the full download path to the gz file.

The License needs to conform to spdx, in your case GPL-3.0

There is no %clean anymore...

Clean it up a bit more from the above information and then post back
the build service link to your project.

Having cleaned it up a bit anyway and having included a few things you mention I now have it at:

%if 0%{?suse_version}
%define group Productivity/Multimedia/Sound/Utilities
%define distr %(cat /etc/SuSE-release)
%endif
%if 0%{?fedora}
%define qmake qmake-qt4
%define group Applications/Multimedia
%define distr %(cat /etc/fedora-release)
%endif

But now I get

cat: /etc/SuSE-release: No such file or directory

or the same error for the Fedora builds just it's complaining about /etc/fedora-release not existing. If I remove that it builds fine so should I just not care about filling in the Distribution tag?

Hi
Correct it's not needed or packager (will cause a warning/error) and
you also need to separate out the changelog into a file called
<specfile_name>.changes
