make install wants to ln -s

Dear LazyArchWeb

I'm trying to create a PKGBUILD for this screensaver called Hills http://www.loria.fr/~rougier/software/hills/

Except when it comes to make install it errors out with a permission denied because it wants to create a link (ln -s -f /usr/bin/hills /usr/libexec/xscreensaver/hills) outside of the /pkg directory....it can't because I'm makepkging as user of course.

So, my poor fried brain can't figure out how to make it want to create the link inside the /pkg directory. Please help

Re: make install wants to ln -s

(ln -s -f /usr/bin/hills /usr/libexec/xscreensaver/hills) outside of the /pkg

do it inside!!!

(ln -s -f $strtdir/pkg/usr/bin/hills /usr/libexec/xscreensaver/hills

if make is trying to do it then, you may need to run sed on the script, but I would try running the command after make but before make install...
