makepkg of fxload produces empty package

When I try to run makepkg 4.1.0 on the fxload AUR package, it runs without errors but produces a package without any binaries.

For details, please see my comment at: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/fxload/

Re: makepkg of fxload produces empty package

You really should heed makepkg's warning about using a package function. The real problem is that you're referring to $startdir/src and $startdir/pkg rather than $srcdir and $pkgdir.

Re: makepkg of fxload produces empty package

Thank you! I replaced

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

in the PKGBUILD with:

build() {
  cd $srcdir/$pkgname-$pkgver
  make || return 1
}

package() {
  cd $srcdir/$pkgname-$pkgver
  make exec_prefix=$pkgdir/ prefix=$pkgdir/ install
}

Now it works. Does this seem sane? Would the way to go now be to post this in the AUR comments and flag the package as out-of-date?

Get rid of the ||return 1. It hasn't been needed in years.

Just post a comment. The package isn't out of date.

Re: makepkg of fxload produces empty package

I tried to install advancemame from aur and it wastotally missing the package function.
It is not the only one, unfortunately.
