Does not build in a chroot as of (at least) 2021-02-13:

install: cannot stat 'LICENSE': No such file or directory

It works fine when building with makepkg -si though.

Edit 2021-05-13: Changing cd ../.. to cd "$srcdir" in the pkgbuild fixes the build in a chroot. This is also how it is done in the pkgbuild for spectrwm itself.

Not building, project moved to github

Ignore that last, I was still on old PKGBUILD.,,

Here is a PKGBUILD that works based on your community PKGBUILD:

Also, please change:
ln -s ../version.h version.h

to

New deps for git:

depends=('dmenu' 'xcb-util' 'xcb-util-wm' 'xcb-util-keysyms' 'libxft' 'profont')

ScrotWM is now SpectrWM.

Anonymous comment on 2011-11-02 04:37

keenerd: in PKGBUILD package(), scrotwm.desktop is not found. Suggest placing the install line right after 'make install' to install 'scrotwm/linux/scrotwm.desktop'
