Thanks to both you two Jesse and Chris, I won't copy the both replies here to make the message shorter. I did at first what Chris told me about the install option, I liked it, but, at least BY NOW, I'll use the chmod/copy combination, because I'm not new, but I know less things than that I thought, and I would like to learn little by little. Respect to Jesse's message, I did it with your help, correcting some little details and I think now it's correct :D I would like a little introduccion to "sed" option, because I didn't know it, not a lot, but, as "cp" copies a directory on another one, what makes "sed"? :) Thanks for your help, and this is my PKGBUILD by now, hope it's correct ;)

The two "echo" at the end are to add two comments that I considered important things to know :) So... what do you thing about the PKGBUILD now? :)

No problem.

From the man page: "sed - stream editor for filtering and transforming text".

Basically it's a non-interactive text editor. sed 's|usr/local|usr|' -i "${pkgdir}/usr/bin"/* changes every occurrence of "usr/local" with "usr" in all the files in ${pkgdir}/usr/bin. But only the first one in every line (I think). I assume it's needed because you app by default expects to be in /usr/local/bin while you install it in /usr/bin.

I may be wrong, but I think that the last echos will not be executed. If you want to display some messages after installation, use an install script.

On a side note, please don't break the threads by. Also, most email clients can hide the quoted text, so no problem there either. And on another side note, sorry for top posting in my previous reply, I didn't notice it.
