  One of the goals of the ground-based support program for the COROT and Roemer
satellite missions is to characterize suitable target stars for the part of the
missions dedicated to asteroseismology. We present the detailed abundance
analysis of nine of the potential COROT main targets using the semi-automatic
software VWA. For two additional COROT targets we could not perform the
analysis due to the high rotational velocity of these stars. For five stars
with low rotational velocity we have also performed abundance analysis by a
classical equivalent width method in order to test the reliability of the VWA
software. The agreement between the different methods is good. We find that it
is necessary to measure abundances extracted from each line relative to the
abundances found from a spectrum of the Sun in order to remove systematic
errors. We have constrained the global atmospheric parameters Teff, log g, and
[Fe/H] to within 70-100 K, 0.1-0.2 dex, and 0.1 dex for five stars which are
slow rotators (v sin i < 15 km/s). For most of the stars stars we find good
agreement with the parameters found from line depth ratios, H-alpha lines,
Str\"omgren indices, previous spectroscopic studies, and also log g determined
from the HIPPARCOS parallaxes. For the fast rotators v sin i > 60 km/s it is
not possible to constrain the atmospheric parameters.
