[SOLVED] How to make AUR dependencies "detectable"?

I'm trying to install Hollywood on Arch Linux. [Link]

Two of the dependencies apg and speedometer were missing... they are not on the "official repo" but on the AUR. I git-cloned and makepkg'ed these two in subdirectories within the hollywood directory (hollywood exists in home/username/). Basically just did the git-clone from current directory not caring. (BTW let me know if this is okay).

I still can't install Hollywood because it doesn't detect apg and speedometer dependencies.

How should this have been handled exactly? I'm still a n00b, and any information helps me learn. Thanks!

Git clone the dependencies and install or add them to a local repository first.

You say you made the packages, but did you install them?

makepkg alone builds packages, it doesn't install them. You still have to do that, read the AUR wiki page.

Did you actually install the packages or just build them?

No, it didn't "fix" anything. It just shifted the brokeness one space to the right. - jasonwryan

@everyone thanks! Forgot about the installation step! Slipped my mind. makepkg -si is what I wanted to do!

It's amazing what I'm able to forget in a couple weeks.

Got hollywood installed and working.
