Pacaur is essentially dead and should be replaced by something like aurutils or trizen, if one really needs that. Otherwise, always assume people use makepkg for building the package, as that's the only supported tool by the distribution.
Or even better use a script from devtools like extra-x86_64-build, Yes. This will also run some sanity checks on the package, after it has been built. For many many packages in the AUR, this would be very useful.
which will create a chroot with a base system, install all dependencies, and then build the packages. Of course it starts getting painful if you have dependencies from AUR. Hehe, yes. In such a case you would need a local repository to use devtools (e.g. with the help of aurutils), or have someone push the dependencies to [community].
