I believe you cannot use $pkgdir outside of package() function. Move
the definitions into package()

_usr_lib=$pkgdir/usr/lib/
_hadoop_real_home=$_usr_lib/$pkgname-$pkgver
_hadoop_link_home=$_usr_lib/$pkgname


also suggestions:

- change compile() name to build()

- move "sed -i " into prepare() function.

- you don't need to call "ant clean". Cleaning will be done by "makepkg"
