[arch-general] fakeroot package() -> mkdir: cannot create directory : Permission denied

[David C. Rankin]

Guys,

  This is the first time I've seen makepkg not be able to create the
$pkgdir/<dir> needed to package a file. I take it from the forum posts that this
usually means that makepkg is trying to create the file in the actual filesystem
instead of in the fakeroot $pkgdir. (eg:
https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?pid=999088)

  However, I cannot figure out what is causing it to do so on this simple
package. The actual error I receive is:

==> Packaging - tde-tqca-tls
mkdir: cannot create directory `/opt/tqt3/plugins/crypto/': Permission denied
make: *** [install_target] Error 1

  What has me puzzled is this is a simple little package. The entire
$srcdir/$pkgname after building is just:

  Looking at the Makefile generate by configure, the install part of the
makefile is:

install_target: all
	@$(CHK_DIR_EXISTS) "$(INSTALL_ROOT)/opt/tqt3/plugins/crypto/" || $(MKDIR)
"$(INSTALL_ROOT)/opt/tqt3/plugins/crypto/"
	-$(INSTALL_FILE) "$(TARGET)" "$(INSTALL_ROOT)/opt/tqt3/plugins/crypto/$(TARGET)"
	-strip --strip-unneeded "$(INSTALL_ROOT)/opt/tqt3/plugins/crypto/$(TARGET)"

  The complete makefile is:

  I'm not sure what makepkg needs to tell it to put the packages in the $pkgdir
from within the Makefile. Anyone else been bitten by this? Any quick fix?
