}

build(){
  cd "${pkgname}-${pkgver}"
  ./configure --prefix=/usr
  make
}

package(){
  cd "${pkgname}-${pkgver}"
  make DESTDIR="${pkgdir}" install

  # awk symlink is arleady installed, do the same with the man page
  ln -sv gawk.1 "${pkgdir}/usr/share/man/man1/awk.1"
  # Install the documentation
  mkdir -v "${pkgdir}/usr/share/doc/gawk-${pkgver}"

Prepare the build directory for the pacman user and build the package:

chown -R root:pacman .
chmod 2775 .
chmod 664 PKGBUILD
su pacman -c 'makepkg -L --nodeps'

Add the newly created package to the central package repository:

cp gawk-5.3.1-1-$(uname -m).pkg.tar.xz \
   /srv/pacman/repos/LFS/
repo-add /srv/pacman/repos/LFS/LFS.db.tar.xz \
         /srv/pacman/repos/LFS/gawk-5.3.1-1-$(uname -m).pkg.tar.xz

Update the local cache and install the Gawk package:

pacman -Syu
pacman -S gawk --overwrite \* -dd --noconfirm

Finally, copy the source files into the source repository and clean up the build directory:

mkdir /srv/pacman/source/LFS/gawk
cp PKGBUILD /srv/pacman/source/LFS/gawk
cd /sources
rm -rf gawk
