.PKGINFO

i tried to make fbnews.install file same as i found in arch wiki pages; replacing prefix with DESTDIR and no change.

Re: fbnews package and problems

Hi.
As you can see on the project's documentation page, this package doesn't follow the standard make/make install procedure, it just needs a "make install", so start removing the "make" line.

I don't understand your native language output but I seem to understand that the program can't find the target directories under $startdir/pkg. To fix this you can add, at the beginning of the build() function, this line:

mkdir $startdir/pkg/{lib,usr{/local,},opt,bin,sbin}

This should do the trick
