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 less-668-1-$(uname -m).pkg.tar.xz \
/srv/pacman/repos/LFS/
repo-add /srv/pacman/repos/LFS/LFS.db.tar.xz \
/srv/pacman/repos/LFS/less-668-1-$(uname -m).pkg.tar.xz
Update the local cache and install the Less package:
pacman -Syu pacman -S less --overwrite \* -dd --noconfirm
Finally, copy the source files into the source repository and clean up the build directory:
mkdir /srv/pacman/source/LFS/less cp PKGBUILD /srv/pacman/source/LFS/less cd /sources rm -rf less
The meaning of the configure options:
--sysconfdir=/etc
This option tells the programs created by the package to look
in /etc for the configuration
files.
