[aur-general] How to install dependency that is in AUR

[Ole Jon Bjørkum]

Is it okay to do it in the prepare() function in PKGBUILD?

I did it like this and it works:

wget https://aur.archlinux.org/cgit/aur.git/snapshot/libgcrypt11.tar.gz -O
$srcdir/libgcrypt11.tar.gz
tar -zxvf $srcdir/libgcrypt11.tar.gz
cd $srcdir/libgcrypt11
makepkg -sri

Thanks!
