Need library pkgbuld inspection.

This is pkgbuild for OpenPtch library. It comes with source files only, not sure I built it the right way.
I took instructions from this page.
pkgbuild:

# Contributor: Evgeny Grablyk <sm@linuxforum.org.ua>
pkgname=libopenptch
pkgver=1.18\_RC5
pkgrel=1
pkgdesc="An advanced feature-rich binary manipulating library"
arch=(i686)
url="http://sourceforge.net/projects/libopenptch/"
license=('GPL')
source=(http://downloads.sourceforge.net/libopenptch/OpenPtch\_$pkgver.rar)
makedepends=('unrar')
md5sums=('3d01b04b2347d9091e34709baef0f41b')

build() {
        cd $startdir/src/
        unrar x OpenPtch_$pkgver.rar && cd src && rm main.{c,h}
        gcc -fPIC -g -c -Wall *.c
        gcc -shared -Wl -o $pkgname.so *.o -lc
        mkdir -p $startdir/pkg/usr/lib && cp $pkgname.so $startdir/pkg/usr/lib/
        ldconfig -n /usr/lib
        }

Re: Need library pkgbuld inspection.

If you're going to use the "unrar" command in the build block, you should add

makedepends=('unrar')

Ok, added. Nothing about library build?

I don't really have any experience packaging libraries so I'm afraid I wouldn't be of much help there. My best suggestion would be to just look at one of the officially packaged ones from ABS to get an idea of how the preferred "Arch" way of doing this is

Re: Need library pkgbuld inspection.

ldconfig must be run in a .install file - see examples:

abs
find /var/abs -name \*.install | xargs grep ldconfig

No need for \_, just use _

Use "|| return 1" a heck of a lot more often

You should also use install rather than cp as much as possible.

Thanks to all people replied. I've added this package to aur. Here it is.

Re: Need library pkgbuld inspection.

Instead of:
  mkdir -p $startdir/pkg/usr/lib
Use:
  install -d $startdir/pkg/usr/lib/

Next, we'll be arguing over whether the trailing slash is recommended
