mbfl PKGBUILD not working

I did this PKGBUILD:

# Contributor: LTSmash <lord.ltsmash@gmail.com>
pkgname=mbfl
pkgver=1.1.14
pkgrel=1
pkgdesc="Marco's Bash Functions Library is a library of functions for the GNU bash shell, intended to be sourced by scripts at runtime."
arch=(i686 x86_64)
url="https://gna.org/projects/mbfl/"
license=('LGPL')
depends=(bash)
source=(http://download.gna.org/mbfl/$pkgver/$pkgname'_'$pkgver'_'src.tar.gz)
md5sums=()

build() {
  cd "$srcdir/$pkgname"_"$pkgver"
  ./configure --prefix=/usr
  make all || return 1
  make DESTDIR="$pkgdir" install
}

However I get this output:

I know that the problem is because somehow the mbflpp.sh script can't find mbfl-config to execute it.
Here's mbflpp.sh:

You can see in the 43 line the way it's calling for the other script.

have you got any ideas to fix this?

thanks.

Re: mbfl PKGBUILD not working

The problem is here:

ln: creating symbolic link «/usr/bin/mbfl-config»: Permiso denegado

(unless "permiso denegado" does not mean "permission denied" )
You can't create files, or links, in the running system when building a package. Everything has to happen in $startdir/src or $startdir/pkg.

Re: mbfl PKGBUILD not working

The makefile does not use DESTDIR, the documentation says to use INSTALL_ROOT to perform that function
