PKGBUILD for dvorak7min

**Warning, this is my first PKGBUILD**

I need some help with this PKGBUILD.

pkgname=dvorak7min
pkgver=1.6.1
pkgrel=1
pkgdesc="dvorak7min is a simple ncurses-based typing tutor for those trying to become fluent with the Dvorak keyboard layout"
url="http://freshmeat.net/projects/dvorak7mintutor/"
license=""
depends=(ncurses)
makedepends=()
conflicts=()
replaces=()
backup=()
install=
source=(http://freshmeat.net/redir/dvorak7mintutor/2108/url_tgz/$pkgname-$pkgver.tar.gz)
md5sums=(0dbeb1ac986893f1b14f70e392b9009e)

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

When I run makepkg, I get the following:

[paulb@zangetsu ~]$ makepkg

Any ideas or suggestions?

build() {
  cd $startdir/src/$pkgname-$pkgver
  install_dir="$startdir/pkg/usr/local/games/bin"
  make INSTALL=$install_dir || return 1
  make INSTALL=$install_dir install || return 1

I'm not sure if arch supports /usr/local/games but it builds ok

Re: PKGBUILD for dvorak7min

Thanks, that pointed me in the right direction.

EDIT: Next try...

#Contributor:Paul <paul2lv(at)gmail(dot)com>
pkgname=dvorak7min
pkgver=1.6.1
pkgrel=1
pkgdesc="dvorak7min is a simple ncurses-based typing tutor for those trying to become fluent with the Dvorak keyboard layout"
url="http://freshmeat.net/projects/dvorak7mintutor/"
depends=(ncurses)
license="GPL"
source=(http://www.linalco.com/ragnar/$pkgname-$pkgver.tar.gz)
md5sums=(0dbeb1ac986893f1b14f70e392b9009e)

build() {
  cd $startdir/src/$pkgname-$pkgver
  install_dir="$startdir/pkg/usr/bin"
  make INSTALL=$install_dir || return 1
  make INSTALL=$install_dir install || return 1 
}

If this looks good, I'll put it in the AUR.

That should be 'ncurses' in single quotes for pkgbuild consistancy.

license="GPL"
source=(http://www.linalco.com/ragnar/$pkgname-$pkgver.tar.gz)
md5sums=(0dbeb1ac986893f1b14f70e392b9009e)

The some goes for you md5sums

build() {
  cd $startdir/src/$pkgname-$pkgver
  install_dir="$startdir/pkg/usr/bin"

All local vars should start with an underscore for consistancy.  So in this case maybe $_installdir instead of install_dir.

  make INSTALL=$install_dir || return 1
  make INSTALL=$install_dir install || return 1 
}

Otherwise, run namcap on the package it creates make sure everything is in order, and I'd say it's ready for the aur.
