New package Tesseract Trainer needs packager

Thanks for the replies.

BuildRequires is one of the things that gives me problems for the 
'generic' RPM.  Each distro seems to have different names for things.  
The last time I did this I found these:

Redhat 7.3:
BuildRequires: 
gcc-c++,glibc-devel,glut-devel,libstdc++-devel,XFree86-devel,pcre-devel,expat-devel,libungif-devel,libtiff-devel,SDL-devel,smpeg-devel,libogg-devel,libvorbis-devel,SDL_mixer-devel

Mandrake 8.2:
BuildRequires: 
gcc-c++,XFree86-devel,libMesaGLU1-devel,libMesaglut3-devel,libpcre0-devel,libexpat0-devel,libungif4-devel,libtiff3-devel,libSDL1.2-devel,libalsa1-devel,libesound0-devel,libsmpeg0.4-devel,libogg0-devel,libvorbis0-devel,libSDL_mixer1.2-devel

SUSE 8.0:
BuildRequires: 
c_compiler,libc,glutdev,XFree86-devel,sdl-devel,smpeg-devel,libogg-devel,libvorbis-devel

Is there any way around this, or is it necessary to maintain one 
BuildRequires per distro?

This is so that the binary (in e.g. /usr/bin) knows where the 
application data is (in e.g. /usr/share/tesseracttrainer-0.1.4).  The 
scripts just cd to the datadir and runs the binary with datadir as cwd.  
I didn't want to put these into source files as the source tar.gz 
doesn't really 'know' about %{_bindir} and %{_datadir}, which are more a 
property of the distro than of the (common to all distros) tar.gz.  
However it's not nice  If you have a better way I'd like to hear it.
