I needed some help debugging my rpm build. Any time it encounters a %files or %build or %install directive it gives me an error and I am not able to figure out what "[rpm] + $'\r'" means

I know this is almost four years old, but for anyone else who may stumble upon this page like I did looking for a solution:
I had this same issue where a carriage return character was inserted in the rpmbuild auto generated temp script. The reason this is happening is because I had initially edited the spec file in a Windows text editor (which inserted the carriage returns) and then SCPed the files over to a CentOS box, so the carriage returns threw errors. If you remake the file on the Linux environment, it should work fine.
Good luck!
EDIT: I am very new to Linux so I didn't know there was a command called 'dos2unix' that will convert a text file appropriately for Unix based environments. :) Hope that helps anyone else who runs into this issue.
