[Fedora-packaging] Cannot cd to %{name}-%{version}

Thu Apr 12 19:59:06 UTC 2012

i did
%prep
%setup -qn pcore

that is how i got make to run.

but i get :
cp: cannot create regular file `/pcore-0.1/usr/bin/': No such file 

as a result of :
%install

cp obj/ggsnc/ggsnc $RPM_BUILD_ROOT%{_bindir}/

What i want to know id that ( as far as i think ) 
that %install 

happens in a chroot
and if i give the correct folder, the copy should happen ?
plus i WANT to copy the binary executable in /usr/bin
not sure HOW to do that

Thanks,
-Kamal.
