Hi, I would appreciate any help on these PKGBUILD and .install file on what's I'm doing wrong since makepkg aborts with a build() error:

Maybe if you removed the redirection to /dev/null you'd get some useful feedback as to why this fails. If this isn't the issue, then you need to provide more than "it doesn't work".

package() { # create destination path install -d $pkgdir/usr/share/emacs/site-lisp # copy over file into path cp $srcdir/buff-menu+.{el,elc} $pkgdir/usr/share/emacs/site-lisp }

emacs-buffmenu+ file:

note () { cat << EOF ;BufferMenu+ mode (require 'buff-menu+)

EOF }

post_install() { echo "==> Please add these lines to your ~/.emacs:" note }

post_upgrade() { }
