[aur-general] Request for assistance with a PKGBUILD

[Joel Heaton]

Hello fellow AUR maintainers, I've come to ask for some of your wisdom
on a particular subject because, quite frankly, I'm completely unsure
of how to move forward. I'm attempting to put together a PKGBUILD for
a library (tsdl) but running in to trouble with the installation part.
I can run make no problem, everything proceeds as expected, however I
receive a permission error when running make install. The output is
shown below at the point which it fails.

Obviously this is going to fail unless makepkg -s is run as root,
which is highlighted as not being a good idea, so I'm basically
looking at how I could get around this, if at all. I'll admit that I'm
still getting to grips with this, having only put together two
PKGBUILDs from scratch before now, so I would appreciate any pointers
that could guide me in the right direction. Below are links to the
PKGBUILD I'm working on, as well as the Makefile for the library I
want to build respectively. I can see that there are a bunch of
operations going on in there which will result in more permission
denied errors, but if I'm thinking along the right lines, then these
could be installed using install -D -mXXX but again, I'm quite
inexperienced so I don't know if that is entirely true.

Please also feel free to criticise the PKGBUILD in general; I've been
following what I've seen by other maintainers so far and trying to
stick to the guidelines laid out in the Wiki pages, so hopefully it's
all fine but if I have missed anything or done something stupid, I'd
like to know.

Thanks in advance for any help.

Kind regards,

Joel.
