+Can you give the exact error message ?
+You may need to create the directory by hand, if the makefile don't.

+
+First, the description is too long and too big. 
+
+The patch is not commented and do not explicitly what it does. And
+should also be sent upstream, so we will not have to apply it in the
+future.
+
+
+License:        GPLV2 or later
+this is not the notation we usually use, this should be GPLv2+ ( see
+rpmlint to check that, and the wiki for licenses policy  )
+
+
+BuildRequires: %{_lib}ffmpeg-devel
+
+this is incorrect, the BuildRequires will depend on the architecture
+where the src was rebuild. The BuildRequires must not change. Usually,
+there is a provides added for that ( but we are moving to having
+libffmpeg-devel on both arch ).

+               --disable-debug \
+               --enable-mmap=no \
+
+Why disable and then enable mmap ?
