Not that way.  You should do `makepkg --source` in the directory with
your PKGBUILD file.

And in terms of your PKGBUILD:
 * set description to “Cartographic Projections library, SVN version.”
so it is like the upstream package.
 * arch=('i686' 'x86_64')
 * remove empty entries.
 * ${srcdir}, ${pkgdir}
 * you don't need the ChangeLog file, and you didn't show us any
COPYING, but you install one.

No need to tell that.
