* WARNING: 'check-rpaths' detected a broken RPATH OR RUNPATH and will cause

*    0x0001 ... standard RPATHs (e.g. /usr/lib); such RPATHs are a minor

*               environments.
*    0x0002 ... invalid RPATHs; these are RPATHs which are neither absolute
*               nor relative filenames and can therefore be a SECURITY risk
*    0x0004 ... insecure RPATHs; these are relative RPATHs which are a
*               SECURITY risk
*    0x0008 ... the special '$ORIGIN' RPATHs are appearing after other
*               RPATHs; this is just a minor issue but usually unwanted
*    0x0010 ... the RPATH is empty; there is no reason for such RPATHs
*               and they cause unneeded work while loading libraries
*    0x0020 ... an RPATH references '..' of an absolute path; this will break
*               the functionality when the path before '..' is a symlink
*          
*
* Examples:
* - to ignore standard and empty RPATHs, execute 'rpmbuild' like
*   $ QA_RPATHS=$(( 0x0001|0x0010 )) rpmbuild my-package.src.rpm
* - to check existing files, set $RPM_BUILD_ROOT and execute check-rpaths like
*   $ RPM_BUILD_ROOT=<top-dir> /usr/lib/rpm/check-rpaths

Hello @arun54321

I’m not an expert.
For more context read here: RPATH handling · Wiki · CMake / Community · GitLab

BTW, while packaging stuff, packagers ask for help upstream if there are particular issues compiling stuff with RPM macros and so on.

However, looking at the console repository, you will find that upstream already handled the issue: meson: Drop rpath (0bcc84d6) · Commits · GNOME / Console · GitLab

So, since you are using the 0.4.0 version, that is not the last one (indeed the last one is 42.beta, that requires libhandy >= 1.5, and on Fedora 35 we have 1.4, so this would require an extra effort), well, you can patch the src/meson.build and include a patch in the SPEC file:

i.e.

cd ~/rpmbuild/BUILD/console-0.4.0
cp src/meson.build src/meson.build.orig
vi src/meson.build
git diff src/meson.build.orig src/meson.build > ~/rpmbuild/SOURCES/00rpath.patch

In the spec file add a line like
Patch0: 00rpath.patch
after Source0, and in the %prep section
%autosetup -p1

In addition take into account that at a first glance these buildrequires should be added:

BuildRequires: libhandy-devel
BuildRequires: libgtop2-devel
