Try

echo "%{nunitver}"; exit

in %prep and play with different settings of nunitver to debug
this. As Tom wrote, you need to have BuildRequired anything that is
executed and the src.rpm build will be issuing warning (which you can
ignore) if the BRs happen to not be installed.

BTW this is not really a fedora-packaging question, but rather
fedora-devel I think (it is not guideline related).
