The build () function doesn't do what you want it to do.
1) 'cd $startdir/src/${pkgname}' (should be without -${pkgver}) - reason: if you look into the src/ dir, you'll see that the directory is named only oggfwd, not oggfwd-1.
2) you need to 'install' somewhere, ie copy the compiled binary into the appropriate directory in $startdir/pkg/. One way to do it is 'install -D -m755 oggfwd $startdir/pkg/usr/bin/oggfwd || return 1'
3) the '|| return 1' is a good thing (makepkg bails out on error), so it would be good if you 'make oggfwd || return 1'

EDIT: Altogether

build () {
  cd $startdir/src/${pkgname}
  make oggfwd || return 1
  install -D -m755 oggfwd $startdir/pkg/usr/bin/oggfwd || return 1
}

And generally here's how do the PKGBUILDs work. The build () function is just a script which gets called when you run 'makepkg'. It needs to 1) compile the program 2) move the files that you want to be a part of the package into $startdir/pkg. When the function exits, the only other thing that makepkg does is that it makes a tarball from everything under $startdir/pkg.

i did that but still no result.
check out if you could the link of the previous post.

cheers

Try only with 'make || return 1' instead 'make oggfwd || return 1'
For some reason, the one with oggfwd does not compile properly here.

EDIT: and you should fix the version number (i believe it should be 0.2).

That doesn't say much.

i manage to compile it as a package with makepkg.
but when i do sudo pacman -U oggfwd-0.2-1-i686.pkg.tar.gz it says that there is a dependencir error. yet it doesnt state which dependency. so i dont know how to really elaborate.

bender02 · 2008-06-10 04:43:33

Well, -v flag to pacman makes it spit out pretty much all it can. So try that. It could be that a package that depends on it blocks it somehow - then uninstall that one, reinstall oggfwd and install back the other one.

here is the result (it is in portuguese but it says that it couldnt comply to all dependencies)

Ah! I think the problem is your depends=('') line. There's no package with empty name Just try to leave off that line.

finally
thanks!!!
