aurbuild and files you need to get yourself

I am just curios, I am using aurbuild to install vmware workstation and I need to know what directory to put the vmware tar file into so aurbuild sees it, I haven't found the info in the documentation, but me missing somthing is nothing new!

The location of the tar-file should be specified in the PKGBUILD, so you might look it up in there.

I don't think I said it correctly, I have the tar file, I need to know where in my filesystem to put it so that aurbuild will find it, normally when just building with makepkg you simple place the tarfile in the same directory as the PKGBUILD and then run makepkg. I was just wondering if there way a way with aurbuild to place the tarball in the correct directory on my filesystem so that aurbuild finds it, otherwise aurbuild informs me that the tarball could not be found.

The way it works - if you have the tarball _from the AUR_ (NOTE: not the source/binary tarball for vmware itself) aurbuild unpacks it and runs makepkg. So, if you have the tarball, simply untar it, cd into the directory, and run 'makepkg'

Thanks phrakture, thats what I did, I was just hoping that there was an aurbuild way to do it, as I am lazy!

If you mean the PKGBUILD tarball, just untar it into /var/tmp/aurbuild/pkgbuilds and use the --local switch.
