The package doesn’t work because it links against $pkgdir. And as already said the files should be packaged to /opt/sononym.

 package() {
     install -Dm 644 "logo.svg" "$pkgdir/usr/share/pixmaps/sononym.svg"
     install -Dm 644 "sononym.desktop" "$pkgdir/usr/share/applications/sononym.desktop"

-    d="$pkgdir/usr/share/sononym-${pkgver}"
-    cd "$srcdir/sononym-${pkgver}"
-    mkdir -p "$d"
-    cp -r * "$d"
-    mkdir -p "$pkgdir/usr/bin"
-    ln -s "$d/sononym" "$pkgdir/usr/bin/sononym"
+    cd sononym-$pkgver
+    mkdir -p "$pkgdir/opt/sononym/"
+    mkdir -p "$pkgdir/usr/bin/"
+    cp -r * "$pkgdir/opt/sononym/"
+    ln -s "/opt/sononym/sononym" "$pkgdir/usr/bin/sononym"

@nimius Are you sure about that? Sorry if I am wrong, but there are many related files besides /usr/bin/sononym. You can't put the directory under /usr/bin/, and deploying the related files in the AUR helper cache directory is also wrong. It seems to me that it is correct to deploy them under /opt/, for example. Is it safe to put *.so etc. under /usr/share/sononym/ when there are no sononym files there? Don't they have to be in the same directory? https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Arch_package_guidelines#Directories | https://www.sononym.net/docs/installation/linux/

@tkna: You have to edit the PKGBUILD. In line 26 there is a 'ln -s'. replace that with 'cp' and then run 'makepkg -si' and you're good to go.

Thanks for the maintenance. Unfortunately, I cannot run sononym. The symbolic link destination of /usr/bin/sononym as a deployment destination seems to be deleted https://0x0.st/X38O.txt . I am not familiar with the PKGBUILD guidelines, but I think it would be better to deploy to something like /opt/sononym/sononym and symlink to it. Thank you in advance for your help and support.
