[SOLVED]How to build debian package source in Arch Linux?

I'm porting openssl for sh4 arch.

If I use Arch Linux PKGBUILD, it built failed. (I guess that's caused by there is no asm code for sh4 cpu).

So, I decide use debian's source.
But, is there any one know how to porting debian's package into Arch Linux?
I can apt-get source openssl from other machine.  But I don't know what's the correct step to build it into Arch Linux' structure.

Solution: refer brebs's PKGBUILD hint.

I guess you should try to find the location of the source package, instead of downloading the sources via apt. After that, it should not be too special.

The source is not hard to find. Look on Debian packages - each package has 2 files, the ".orig", and Debian's diff (which is sometimes not a diff, these days, thankfully because just having a simple "debian/patches" subdirectory available is a little bit easier for us).

Edit: Here ya go, convenient links:

http://packages.debian.org/sid/openssl
http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian/pool/ma … ian.tar.gz
