[Request][Solved] cube-escape

I'm trying to make my first ever pkgbuild, which is more difficult than normal because the software doesn't come with rules for an install. I got the files to install, I just can't get it to run right:

# Maintainer: Compintuit <permanentlylostinsightofland at gmail dot com>

pkgname=cube-escape
pkgver=0.8
pkgrel=1
pkgdesc="Progress over a maze etched on the surface of a cube"
arch=('i686' 'x86_64')
url="http://code.google.com/p/cube-escape/"
license=('GPL')
groups=()
depends=('sdl' 'sdl_image' 'sdl_ttf')
makedepends=()
optdepends=()
provides=()
conflicts=()
replaces=()
backup=()
options=()
install=
source=(http://cube-escape.googlecode.com/files/$pkgname-$pkgver-src.tar.gz cube-escape.desktop)
noextract=()
md5sums=('252d0d39b83845a9205346ca55f0983a' '05431cf98ecabf6064e78612d685cc08') #generate with 'makepkg -g'

build() {
  cd $srcdir/$pkgname-$pkgver
  make
  mkdir -p ${pkgdir}/usr/share/games/cube-escape/
  #mkdir ${pkgdir}/usr/bin
  install -Dm755 ${srcdir}/$pkgname-$pkgver/cube-escape ${pkgdir}/usr/share/games/cube-escape/    
  #ln -s ${pkgdir}/usr/share/games/cube-escape/cube-escape ${pkgdir}/usr/bin/cube-escape
  cp -r ${srcdir}/$pkgname-$pkgver/data ${pkgdir}/usr/share/games/cube-escape/
  install -Dm644 ${srcdir}/$pkgname-$pkgver/data/icon.png ${pkgdir}/usr/share/pixmaps/cube-escape.png
  install -Dm644 ${srcdir}/cube-escape.desktop ${pkgdir}/usr/share/applications/cube-escape.desktop
}

.desktop:

[Desktop Entry]
Encoding=UTF-8
Version=1.0
Type=Application
Comment=Progress over a maze etched on the surface of a cube
Terminal=false
Exec=/usr/share/games/cube-escape/cube-escape
Hidden=False
Icon=/usr/share/pixmaps/cube-escape.png
Categories=Game; Puzzle Game

Any help would be appreciated, I don't have a clue what I'm doing

Re: [Request][Solved] cube-escape

This works for the install. However, the moment I try to start the game, it gives me a Segmentation fault -- which should probably be reported upstream.
All you needed was a script that would invoke the game. Normally this script should be under /usr/bin (which is always in the PATH).
Also check the difference between your PKGBUILD and mine, Try to use $pkgname instead of actual package name.

Re: [Request][Solved] cube-escape

The thing I don't get is that if the working directory is where it is, it will run fine. Thus I have managed to solve my problem with this script:

#!/bin/bash
cd  /usr/share/games/cube-escape/
./cube-escape

Thanks for the idea to start it from a script.

I would still blame bad coding on that.
