Some notes on the PKGBUILD:
- You needn't put variables which are empty, that'll make
  the PKGBUILD shorter.
- The description should not start with the package name
  as it is redundant information.
- license is an array. (use namcap to check the PKGBUILDs)
- $startdir/src is deprecated, one should use $srcdir now.

The PKGBUILD is trying to install stuff into .usr/bin which
is not allowed as you are running makepkg as a non-root
user. Most probably the Makefile uses some variable other
than DESTDIR to determine the location of installed packages.
