[request] Flashcam

I tried to make a PKGBUILD for Flashcam, but with no luck. Flashcam is a sort of wrapper, to make webcams work in Adobe Flash (so you can use them on sites like http://tokbox.com ). More details can be found here: http://www.swift-tools.net/Flashcam/

this is what i did so far:

pkgname=flashcam
pkgver=1.1
pkgrel=1
arch='i686'
pkgdesc="Webcam wrapper for Adobe Flash"
url="http://www.swift-tools.net/Flashcam/"
license="GPL"
source=(http://www.swift-tools.net/Flashcam/$pkgname-$pkgver.tgz)
md5sums=('')

build() {
  cd $startdir/src/$pkgname-$pkgver
  ./configure --prefix=/usr
  make || return 1
  make DESTDIR=$startdir/pkg install
}

It throws an error when it tries to install the binaries in $startdir/pkg/: "cannot create directory /usr/local/flashcam"
I dug through the Makefile but couldn't figure out how to do it.

Any ideeas?
Thanks.

Re: [request] Flashcam

There is no configure script, so the line ./configure --prefix=/usr makes no sense at all.

The Makefile also is unusable.
