Or you install yaourt (via makepkg) which can transparently install from aur, too. On Mittwoch, 22. April 2009, 13:59:45 Andrei Thorp wrote:
Basically, you click "download Tarball", unpack the tarball, cd into the directory and do "makepkg -s"
This will download the sources, build the package as per PKGBUILD script, and gives you the resulting Arch package. pacman -U pkg_file will install it.

Listmates,
Looking for my favorite swiss army knife for pdf files (pdftk) I was unable to locate it with pacman -Ss pdftk and no luck.
It's in the AUR:
http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?O=0&L=0&C=0&K=pdftk&SeB=nd&PP=25
i.e., you have to build it yourself.

Great,
I'm still reading through the AUR info to see if there are any tricks beyond the normal:
if ! autoconf; then ./configure --help (read, make educated guesses) ./configure --your guesses make make install else go rtfm again to remember autoconf ./configure --help (read, make educated guesses) ./configure --your guesses make make install fi ;-)
???
How about "makepkg".
