Hi ..
I am trying to install my favorite editor joe now i have the "PKGBUILD" file have run "makepkg" it has built ok no erors but how the heck do i install it says installed but it has not it has just created the directorys in the build dir but not actually installed it on the system .
makepkg only creates a package. To install it, run pacman -U /where/your/pkgbuild/is/packagename-packageversion.pkg.tar.xz. Or run makepkg -i (or makepkg -si which will install dependencies too). I am pretty sure the wiki explains PKGBUILDs pretty good, take a look :) -- Thanasis Georgiou
