My apologies, i spoke too soon.
I updated Makefile.in to be:
install: gbuffy
./mkinstalldirs $(DESTDIR)$(bindir)
$(INSTALL) gbuffy $(DESTDIR)$(bindir)
Here is my updated spec file:
%define ver 0.2.8
%define rel 1%{?dist}
Summary: multiple mailbox buffy for GTK+
Name: gbuffy
Version: %ver
Release: %rel
License: GPL
The License value needs to match a license abbreviation from this page:
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Licensing:Main?rd=Licensing#SoftwareLicenses
For more information, see:
https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/packaging-guidelines/LicensingGuidelines/
You may combine multiple short license names using the "and" and "or"
keywords. The packaging guidelines explain this in more detail.
Group: Applications/Communications
Source0: ~/C.libs/linux/%{name}-%{version}.tar.bz2
Source1: http://www.fiction.net/blong/programs/gbuffy/gbuffy-%{ver}.tar.gz
I don't understand what Source0 is here. Source0 should be the
upstream source archive. Then you should add a Patch0 patch that
makes the change to Makefile.in. The %autosetup macro in %prep will
apply that patch after unpacking Source0.

%description
GBuffy is a GTK+ multiple mailbox "biff" program. It is conceptually
based on XBuffy by Bill Pemberton, but is a complete rewrite from
scratch.
GBuffy will poll multiple mailboxes for new mail. It will list the
number of new messages in each mailbox you configure. It will also
highlight the mailboxes which have new mail.
GBuffy is currently capable of watching MBOX, MMDF, Maildir and MH
Folders. This version also supports IMAP4rev1 and NNTP with XOVER
mailboxes.

However, I still have some problems:

DESTDIR=/home/rpmbuild/BUILDROOT/gbuffy-0.2.8-1.fc35.x86_64
'INSTALL=/usr/bin/install -p'
./mkinstalldirs /home/rpmbuild/BUILDROOT/gbuffy-0.2.8-1.fc35.x86_64/usr/bin
make: ./mkinstalldirs: Permission denied
make: *** [Makefile:50: install] Error 127
error: Bad exit status from /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.QLLNwm (%install)
RPM build errors:
Bad exit status from /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.QLLNwm (%install)
Is there something I did not do correctly?
Many thanks!
