+Nope it didn't work either, with Charle's suggestion I get this error:
+
+ln: target ‘/usr/lib64/games/warsow/basewsw/’ is not a directory: No such
+file or directory
+
+Which I don't understand why it says no such file or directory if that's
+the link I want to create. And /usr/lib64/games/warsow exists. I also tried
+the for loop option with no success either:
+
+for i in `%{_datadir}/%{name}/basewsw/*`;
+do
+   file=`basename $i`
+   ln -sf $i  %{gamelibdir}/basewsw/$file
+done
+
+/var/tmp/rpm-tmp.HdlyUk: line 7: /usr/share/warsow-data/basewsw/*: No such
+file or directory
+
+It seems as if the expression `%{_datadir}/%{name}/basewsw/*` (don't mind
+the left quotes, it happens the same with them or not) of the for loop
+wasn't being expanded and $i ends with the literal value '*'.
+
+Any other suggestions ?
