Surely that is covered by "man PKGBUILD". Anyway, I think the makepkg section is unnecessary... here is why allan@mugen ~

makepkg ==> ERROR: PKGBUILD does not exist.

What is a PKGBUILD? There are heaps of links in "man makepkg" to a PKGBUILD man page so... allan@mugen ~

man PKGBUILD

Now, that does not say where to find the prototypes, but I think it is the PKGBUILD man page that should be adjusted. It also should be adjusted to remove reference to Arch. But it does provide examples. Also, the directory /usr/share/pacman is configurable, so should not be hard coded. Allan
