The documentation very clearly states that the buildfile has to be in $PWD, but the error thrown by makepkg reference some mysterious "build directory".

Revise the error message when the check fails to more plainly point out the problem. --- scripts/makepkg.sh.in | 4 ++-- 1 file changed, 2 insertions(+), 2 deletions(-) diff --git a/scripts/makepkg.sh.in b/scripts/makepkg.sh.in index eed047c..726df8f 100644 --- a/scripts/makepkg.sh.in +++ b/scripts/makepkg.sh.in @@ -2919,8 +2919,8 @@ else exit 1 fi - if [[ ${BUILDFILE##*/} != "${BUILDFILE}" && ${BUILDFILE} != "${startdir}/${BUILDFILE##*/}" ]]; then - error "$(gettext "%s must be in the build directory.")"
