I wondered if anyone could tell me how to log the output of a pkgbuild to a fille as it compiles so I an catch all the compilation messages.

Thanks.

try pkgbuild <what ever> 2>&1 | tee build.log

FYI: that's exactly what 'makepkg -L' does:

if [ "$LOGGING" -eq 1 ]; then BUILDLOG="${startdir}/${pkgbase}-${pkgver}-${pkgrel}-${CARCH}-build.log" if [ -f "$BUILDLOG" ]; then local i=1 while true; do if [ -f "$BUILDLOG.$i" ]; then i=$(($i +1)) else break fi done mv "$BUILDLOG" "$BUILDLOG.$i" fi

build 2>&1 | tee "$BUILDLOG"; ret=${PIPESTATUS[0]} else build 2>&1 || ret=$? fi
