Issues ------
Do not use %define, use %global instead [https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:Guidelines#.25global_preferred_over...].
You might want to also package examples/ as docs in devel.
You do not provide the licensing breakdown in a comment in the spec file. I'm don't think boost license applies to the binary rpm, but let's see the breakdown first.
The package uses some bundled libraries: pugixml, portable_archive, boost endian. pugixml is packaged for fedora, so is boost (package boost-devel). According to the new rules, you must use the packaged versions unless there's some specific reason not to. I don't think portable_archive is packaged, so you can use the internal version, or possible package it as a seperate package. I'd do the latter if is used in other projects, and only then, but either way, it's your choice. If you choose to use bundled versions, add Provides: bundled(portable_archive) = <date-of-last-change-of-the-bundled-code>.

--- Comment #2 from Dmitry Mikhirev mikhirev@gmail.com --- Thank you Zbigniew!
The package uses some bundled libraries: pugixml, portable_archive, boost endian.
LSL version of endian differs from upstream boost endian (probably it is a very old fork) and incompatible to it. As this is a header only library, there are no any .so files bundled.
I'm unable to find alive upstream for portable_archive, so I don't think that packaging in separately makes any sense. This is also a header-only library, and there's nothing bundled in the binary package.
I'll fix other issues and post updated spec and srpm later.

You are right, the Boost license does not apply to the binary package. It is used only for headers that are not installed.
Do not use %define, use %global instead
fixed
pugixml is packaged for fedora
Added a patch to use system pugixml.
You might want to also package examples/ as docs in devel.

You really should fix those because rpm will complain about those on every build (replace % with %%).
You should also add Provides: bundled(boost-endian) Provides: bundles(portable-archive) I don't think it'll make any practical difference, but the guidelines require that [1], and there's no reason not to.
[1] https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:Guidelines#Bundling_and_Duplication...
There's a number of warnings during build about initialization issues in the code... You might want to look into those.
Package is APPROVED.

I'm sorry, but I don't understand why сan it be needed. That are forks of original libraries maintained by liblsl developers. The guideline you pointed to requires the version of bundled library to be defined, but the code is not identical to any upstream release. Then, as I mentioned before, both endian and portable_archive are header-only libraries, so the binary package does not bundle shared libs, it does not even contain files linked to some bundled libs statically, only generated template specializations are used. If the point of defining provides is to mark possibly duplicated binary files, there's no duplication. If it is to provide a way to track security issues, it will not work, because the code is not equal to upstream and its version can't be determined.

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1305655
--- Comment #7 from Zbigniew Jędrzejewski-Szmek zbyszek@in.waw.pl --- The idea is to provide the information that package A is using code B. Would there be no bundling, this information would be provided by BuildRequires or other dependency. We want to provide a replacement.
The purpose is to be able to quickly find code B, not just for security issues. Imagine that next version of gcc exposes a bug in boost::endian. If someone wants to go over all packages using boost::endian and recompile them with some patch, this Provides makes their life easier because they can identify relevant packages with one or two dnf queries.
In case you cannot identify a specific version, don't include the version. There's a lot of packages which do that. You can add a comment in the specfile...

--- Comment #8 from Dmitry Mikhirev mikhirev@gmail.com --- Thank you for explanation, I added provides as you adviced.
