--- Comment #6 from Benson Muite <benson_mu...@emailplus.org> ---
Information about what should be done in each section could be
clarified better in the build guidelines. For reference, see:
https://rpm-software-management.github.io/rpm/manual/spec.html
https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/java-packaging-howto/introduction_for_developers/

the %prep section is to unpack sources and apply patches. Running existing
programs
that modify the sources such as iconv is often done, but other commands
associated with setting up the build environment such as using cmake, autotools
etc.
are done in build sections.

Compiling code is best done in the %build section as a cleanable
directory hierarchy is created for that purpose. Need to go through:
https://github.com/rpm-software-management/rpm/blob/master/tools/rpmbuild.c
in more detail.
