The file Webcam.desktop was missing from the RPM SOURCES directory. This
shouldn't happen if you're building from the SRPM, which contains this file.

I'd suggest reading the packaging guidelines here:
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging/Guidelines

It doesn't cover everything here though. In particular, RPM packages should not
install anything under /usr/local - you need to change the install step to put
files under /usr instead.

This is a Fedora Extras package submission, not a Fedora Core one. The Fedora
Extras build system (which will soon be used for Fedora Core anyway) handles the
dist tag just fine.

Exactly as it says on the wiki.

I tried but no value is substituted there

The macros will defined automatically in the Fedora Extras build system, and you
can try this for yourself by building your package in mock. See:
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Projects/Mock

You could alternatively define the macros manually when you build the package:

$ rpmbuild --define "fedora 5" --define "dist .fc5" ...

I see there is another project called qcwebcam:

http://www.fhttpd.org/pub/qcwebcam/README.html

This could cause confusion...
