Yeah, this makes more sense if you've dealt with RPM packaging before, there's a handful of directories in a structure that relate to it.
<offtopic>Please consider compiling and building packages as a non-privileged user rather than as root. It will save you a lot of headache especially if something unexpected happens (install script screws up on directory where it's supposed to install). Using another directory structure, for example below your home dir (or anywhere else for that matter) is easy and you can set the directories in your .rpmrc and .rpmmacros files in your own home directory.
For repeatable, consistent and auditable builds consider using mock or another tool which creates a dedicated build environment every time you build a package with a build environment that is "known good"
