Specifically the install section. I'm not understanding how the %install section works with the %files section. I hope this is not considered OT.
AFAIK, the %install section is what you're actually copying as the contents of your package. You copy it from the location you extracted the source %{_buildroot} into a temporary location %{builddir}.
The %files section tells the package manager what files belong to that package, so everything that you put into the file %{builddir} should also go into this list. This is important so that the package manager knows how to manage the files.
