.SH DESCRIPTION
\fBmakepkg\fP is a script to automate the building of packages. All it needs is
a build-capable Linux platform and a custom build script for each package you
wish to build (known as a \fB\*(PB\fP). The advantage to a script-based build
is that the work is only done once. Once you have the build script for a
package, makepkg will do the rest: download and validate source files, check
dependencies, configure the build-time settings, build the package, install the
package into a temporary root, make customizations, generate meta-info, and
package the whole thing up for \fBpacman\fP to use.

.BR \*(PB (5)
for details on creating your own build scripts.

\fBmakeworld\fP can be used to rebuild an entire package group or the entire
build tree. See \fBmakeworld --help\fP for syntax.
