Create the PKGBUILD for the Zstd package with the following commands:

mkdir /sources/zstd
cd /sources/zstd
cat > PKGBUILD << "REALEOF"
# Maintainer: Linux From Scratch <lfs-dev@lists.linuxfromscratch.org>

pkgname="zstd"
pkgver="1.5.7"
pkgrel="1"
pkgdesc="Zstandard is a real-time compression algorithm, providing high compression ratios."
arch=('x86'
      'x86_64')

             'coreutils'
             'gcc'

build(){
  cd ${srcdir}/${pkgname}-${pkgver}
  make prefix=/usr
}

check(){
  cd ${srcdir}/${pkgname}-${pkgver}
  make check
}

package(){
  cd ${srcdir}/${pkgname}-${pkgver}
  make prefix=/usr DESTDIR=${pkgdir} install
  rm -v ${pkgdir}/usr/lib/libzstd.a

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 zstd-1.5.7-1-$(uname -m).pkg.tar.xz \
   /srv/pacman/repos/LFS/
repo-add /srv/pacman/repos/LFS/LFS.db.tar.xz \
         /srv/pacman/repos/LFS/zstd-1.5.7-1-$(uname -m).pkg.tar.xz

Update the local cache and install the Zstd package:

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

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

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