Ah yeah, I got a bit confused, the trick is to extract source.dir and 'cd'
into it before trying to 'make'
I was trying to make a rockspec -> PKGBUILD converter.
You can see the fruits of a few hours labour up at
https://gist.github.com/daurnimator/11148106
I works for a reasonable number of rocks, though it's very VERY far from
perfect
If you can think of any way to make it easier to install a rock without a
manifest I'd be interested....
At the moment it just unpacks and copys to standard dirs.
