Hello there.

My comments on this situation and your PKGBUILD:

1st - The PKGBUILD has CRLF. You need to format it to Unix (use 'dos2unix'
command)

2nd - Your command line to get version doesn't seem to be correct. 'Main.c'
reports current version 0.8, just like 'git shortlog' history shows. But
you've got '1' from what doesn't look to be a version. Please review that.

3rd - Not the main issue, but remember to set arch (don't use 'any')

4th - Makefile is copying files to directly to '/etc' and '/usr', instead
of allowing fakeroot to work with a variable like $(DESTDIR) before that
path. That's an upstream bug, that can be fixed with the attached patch

5th - Makefile tries to copy to directories without making sure they exist.
Again, upstream bug fixed with my patch.

My suggestion is to fix yourself the first 3 issues and file a bug report
for the last 2.
