Hi.
When I was trying to make .pkg, I get this error message:
You do not have write permission for the directory $BUILDDIR (/Downloads/vmware-systemd-services).
And when I runned makepkg as root:
Running makepkg as root is not allowed as it can cause permanent, catastrophic damage to your system.
So, what I should to do?
Build it in a directory where you do have write permissions. That would most easily be anywhere within your user folder which is inside /home
Offline
I have /Downloads inside /home/username.
The error - as you have posted it - does not refer to /home/username/Downloads, but to /Downloads.
Post the actual command used and full output:

I am sorry.
The path is /home/username/Downloads/vmware-systemd-services.
