[SOLVED] help with first PKGBUILD

I recently gave making a package a shot, starting with a library. I read through the wiki, and I have a question. I might of missed it, but here it goes:
My package is http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=33957
It all installs fine, but I need to run it as root and use the --asroot flag. Is there something I can add so I don't have to do that?

--prefix=$pkgdir/usr

e: equal sign fail

And most likely not during configure, but DESTDIR with the make install:

make DESTDIR=$pkgdir install

What do you mean? Should I make a pkgdir variable? Will this make it so I don't have to use --asroot?

Re: [SOLVED] help with first PKGBUILD

All you need to do is run

make DESTDIR=$pkgdir install

instead of

make install

so it is built into a package.

As it is it is actually installing it directly onto the system, not through the package.

Ahh I see so they can later run "pacman -U package.pkg.tar.gz". Thank you
