help me build kdr, please

I found krd (http://krdm.sourceforge.net/), which appears to be a better alternative to krdc. I have been unable to write a working PKGBUILD.
running makepkg reports this:

make[2]: Leaving directory `/home/xxx/Desktop/build_krd/src/krd/src'
make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/xxx/Desktop/build_krd/src/krd/src'

bsdtar: Failed to open '/home/xxx/packages/krd-1.6-1-i686.pkg.tar.gz': No such file or directory
==> ERROR: Failed to create package file.

I have no programming experience. I would just like to have krd on arch...

here's my PKGBUILD:

# Contributor: Your Name <youremail@domain.com>

build() {

  cd "$srcdir/$pkgname"

  ./configure --prefix=/usr

  make DESTDIR="$pkgdir" install

Re: help me build kdr, please

It's looking for this directory:
/home/xxx/packages/

It's probably specified in your makepkg.conf.  Look for PKGDEST=.  Maybe you forgot to create the directory.

Re: help me build kdr, please

Code did not compile, added dirty workaroud (cannot include iostream.h with gcc 4.3.0, should use <iostream> instead). The following PKGBUILD works for me, but the error you are posting is completely different...

# Contributor: Your Name <youremail@domain.com>

pkgrel=1

noextract=()
md5sums=('a65e244891df6bd3986bffd9dd0a88d0') #generate with 'makepkg -g'

build() {

[ "$QTDIR" = "" ] && source /etc/profile.d/qt3.sh 
      [ "$KDEDIR" = "" ] && source /etc/profile.d/kde.sh

  cd "$srcdir/$pkgname"
  
  # Dirty workaroud
  sed -e 's:iostream.h:iostream:g' -i src/main.cpp

  ./configure --prefix=/usr
  make || return 1
  make DESTDIR="$pkgdir" install
}

Re: help me build kdr, please

I am sorry for answering right away. I haven't had much time lately...

the iostream workaround is needed. I forgot, that I tweaked main.cpp by hand. So after putting all files in the right directories, makepkgdoesn't report any problem.But still, there is no package after running it. I am going to search for the problem asap. for now, thanks to all!

Re: help me build kdr, please

check that you haven't set PKGDEST somewhere, most likely in /etc/makepkg.conf
if it is set, the built pkg is compressed there,
`. /etc/makepkg.conf;echo $PKGDEST`

maybe file feature request on the big tracker to link back to it in the pkgbuild root directory

here's a patch if you can't wait that long
