I am trying to make a pkg :

build() {
 cd "$srcdir/$pkgname-$pkgver-UNIX"

 ./configure --prefix=/usr
 make || return 1
 make DESTDIR="$pkgdir/" install
}

when i try to do makepkg -s it gives
./mkinstalldirs /usr/bin
./mkinstalldirs /usr/man/man1
/bin/install -c bin/mirdir /usr/bin
/bin/install: cannot create regular file `/usr/bin/mirdir': Permission denied
make: *** [install] Error 1

It looks like that package does not support the DESTDIR arguement. You will need to look at the makefile to see what it does do...

well i got it to get past the error, now i just need to get it to install the man pages to /usr/share/man but i do mandir=${pkgdir}/usr/share/man after the make command and it still dont want to install in the correct dir
