I think I get all of those warnings.  Compiler warnings don't 
bother me in building RPM's, it's actual showstopping build 
errors.  Warnings are useful for diagnosing when, say, a 
component doesn't build, though.

I don't know what this is, but would question whether it's a 
showstopper.

Again I suggest that you look at my gambas and gambas-gui 
src.rpm's for their spec files (be careful to backup your own 
spec file before installing the gambas package, since the spec 
file is also named gambas.spec.)  The GUI parts (gambas IDE, 
database manager) require gbc and gba to be installed in your 
path, and possibly gbi as well.  I think I also needed gbx to be 
installed.

As such, you need your "gambas" package to be built first, and 
then installed, and *then* build the "gambas-gui" (or name it 
however you like) package.  It's possible, if you're doing the 
wrong thing and building RPM's as root, that you can cheat and 
copy the four gb? executables into your path during the %build 
phase in preparation for the GUI stuff to be built, but that is 
definitely the WRONG way to do it and actually may result in an 
unusable IDE once an end user installs the resulting package.
