Redhat Linux rpmbuild issue


Hello all,
I am trying to build an rpm in my redhat linux server and have been experiencing issues with the build being successful.

I'm running the following version of linux and software tools

Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server release 6.1 (Santiago)
rpm-build-4.8.0-16.el6.x86_64
rpm-libs-4.8.0-16.el6.x86_64
redhat-rpm-config-9.0.3-42.el6.noarch
rpm-4.8.0-16.el6.x86_64

I decided to start off with a simple build of one directory and one file. Here is my spec file.

Name: MikeMntr
Summary: Software tools
Version: 1.0
Release: 1
License:
Vendor:
Packager: Mike Bowser
Group:
Source: mike.tar.gz


%description
Software tools for Mike

%pre
echo "*** Monitoring Tools 1.0-1 installation ***"

%install
tar -zxpf $RPM_SOURCE_DIR/mike.tar.gz -C"/tmp/"

%post
echo "MikeMntr*** successfully installed! ***"
exit

%preun
echo "*** monitoring tools 1.0-1 uninstalling ***"

%postun
echo "*** successfully uninstalled! ***"
exit

%files
/tmp/mikerpm
/tmp/mikerpm/test.txt


The rpmbuild command completes with no issues when I delete the absolute pathways and names under the %files line. When those are listed I have issues. I'm assuming this is a config issue because its trying to find my source files in a different location than I'm storing them but I'm just not sure where to begin looking. Please direct me to another thread if this question has already been answered. As always any help or feedback is appreciated.

$rpmbuild -ba mike.spec

Linux RPMBuild issue

So I looked at that link and understand how the %setup macro works and fixed that, but now my rpmbuild is failing in the install section. I guess I'm not clear on how to get my source file mike.tar.gz into the build directory when I don't know what the pathway will be beforehand. Any help is appreciated.

SPEC FILE
Summary: My first rpm script package
Name: MikeMntr
Version: 1
Release: 1
Source0: mike.tar.gz

%description
Make some relevant package description here
%prep
%setup -n mikerpm
%build
%install
tar -zxpf $RPM_BUILD_ROOT/mike.tar.gz -C"/tmp/"
%clean
rm -rf $RPM_BUILD_ROOT
%post
echo " "
echo "This will display after rpm installs the package!"
%files
%dir /tmp/mikerpm
/tmp/mikerpm/test.txt

The %setup section already installs %{name}.tar.gz into your %{_buildroot} so usually the %install section will contain 'mkdir', 'make install' and suchlike commands, copying files from /appl/jrpm/rpmbuild/BUILD/%{name}/ to $RPM_BUILD_ROOT and your %{name}.tar.gz doesn't reside in /appl/jrpm/rpmbuild/BUILDROOT/%{name}-%{version}-%{release}.%{arch}/ ($RPM_BUILD_ROOT) but in /appl/jrpm/rpmbuild/SOURCES/ (the $RPM_SOURCE_DIR something).
