[aur-general] Issue with proper packaging

[Michael Kogan]

I think, Konstantin refers to
https://aur.archlinux.org/cgit/aur.git/tree/PKGBUILD?h=simpletools

Konstantin, I think, you are missing the make command (at least I only see
cmake and make install commands. It should look something like

build() {
    mkdir -p "${srcdir}/${pkgname}/build"
    cd "${srcdir}/${pkgname}/build"
    msg2 'Configuring...'
    cmake -C "${srcdir}/settings.cmake" "${srcdir}/${pkgname}"
        make
}


package() {
    # make install target is lost if done in prepare() or build()
    # do everything here...
    install -d "${pkgdir}/usr/lib/"
    msg2 'Compiling & Installing...'
    make DESTDIR="${pkgdir}" install

   # further commands

}

I haven't tested it though, because root has a lot of dependencies.
