use: make prefix="$pkgdir/usr" man1dir="$pkgdir/usr/share/man" install you can remove empty arrays, and make and fakeroot are in base-devel group so take they out from makedepends. On 11/06/2009, nathan owe. wrote:

I am trying to make a pkg :

md5sums=('56afe2aae7983176fd804c264740d6a2')

build() { cd "$srcdir/$pkgname-$pkgver-UNIX"

./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...

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 :-)
