PKGBUILD install command ( or cp ) fails for a file but why

whats wrong with this.
libtap.a does not get copied in package()

do i have to mkdir -p all dirs first? if soo, that did fail to cp the libtap.a too.
but install does auto mkdir -p doesnt it?

pkgname=tap
pkgver=r88.1796a0d
pkgrel=1
pkgdesc='A C library for writing unit tests conforming to TAP'
arch=(i686 x86_64)
url="https://github.com/zorgnax/libtap"
license='GPLv2'
depends=()
makedepends=('git')
source=("git+https://github.com/zorgnax/libtap.git")
md5sums=('SKIP')
_gitname="libtap"

pkgver() {
  cd "$srcdir/$_gitname"
  printf "r%s.%s" "$(git rev-list --count HEAD)" "$(git rev-parse --short HEAD)"
}

build() { 
  cd "$srcdir/$_gitname"
  make
}

package() {
cd "$srcdir/$_gitname"
install -Dm755 libtap.a "$pkgdir/usr/lib/libtap.a"
install -Dm755 tap.h "$pkgdir/usr/include/tap.h"
}

If you want static libraries in your package, you have to tell makepkg to leave them in (the default is to remove them). Read 'man makepkg.conf' and 'man PKGBUILD' for details.
