Hi Ralf,

just to focus on my problem, I've already used "pikaur -Sa --asdeps
cctag", so while this behaviour might be possible depending on the AUR
helper, it shouldn't be a problem in this case. Also, devil2 isn't
available from the AUR - probably there's a typo in the dependency, as a
package "community/devil 1.8.0-5" exists?

However, I could manage to start the build (because of confusion about
the -S option I had set the directory path incorrectly; fixed now), but
after compilation the Ninja build system generator does not find the
build directory:
pkgdir = ~/.cache/pikaur/build/cctag/pkg/cctag
ninja: Entering directory `build'
ninja: fatal: chdir to 'build' - No such file or directory

The first line is created by an echo instruction added as the first line
of the "package()" function - this looks quite weird, what would be the
correct path?

Kind regards,
Peter
