The spec file you attached was in dos format.  This is not a mail
artifact since the attachment is base64 encoded.  Dos format adds an
extra <CR> to the end of each line, which is where the '\r' comes from
in your error.  Your spec file needs to be in unix format.  (Although
RPM support for Windows will start with recognizing and tolerating dos
format text files.)
