I am trying to make a pkg :

./configure --prefix=/usr make || return 1 make DESTDIR="$pkgdir/" install }
when i try to do makepkg -s it gives ./mkinstalldirs /usr/bin ./mkinstalldirs /usr/man/man1 /bin/install -c bin/mirdir /usr/bin /bin/install: cannot create regular file `/usr/bin/mirdir': Permission denied make: *** [install] Error 1
It looks like that package does not support the DESTDIR arguement. You will need to look at the makefile to see what it does do...
Allan
well i got it to get past the error, now i just need to get it to install the man pages to /usr/share/man but i do mandir=${pkgdir}/usr/share/man after the make command and it still dont want to install in the correct dir
for the man pages try: ./configure --prefix=/usr --mandir=/usr/share/man
it is fixed and now in AUR :-)
