> gzip: ../xzoom_0.3-23.diff.gz: No such file or directory Compressed sources are automatically decompressed, so the gzip -d line can be removed. The patch line needs to be changed to something like patch -Np1 < "$srcdir/xzoom_0.3-23.diff" because you cannot assume that srcdir is located in the same folder where the PKGBUILD is stored. See makepkg BUILDDIR variable for example.

Without the patch xzoom doesn't work for me, it says "xzoom: can work only with 8 bits/pixel", so it's needed. Also, 'sed -i "s@-O2@$CFLAGS@" ./Makefile' gives error about the missing Makefile, since xmkmf should be run before the sed stuff. This modified PKGBUILD works for me: pkgname=xzoom pkgver=0.3 pkgrel=1 pkgdesc="xzoom is a screen magnifier" arch=('i686' 'x86_64') url="ftp://sunsite.unc.edu/pub/linux/libs/X/" license=('GPL') depends=('libxt' 'libxext') makedepends=('imake') source=(ftp://sunsite.unc.edu/pub/linux/libs/X/$pkgname-$pkgver.tgz ftp://ftp.acc.umu.se/mirror/cdimage/snapshot/Debian/pool/main/x/xzoom/xzoom_0.3-23.diff.gz) md5sums=('c6ecc5fade34cf46cbe8c00b93d7ac78' 'd3a397e24aba7025f94e264fea0906d0') build() { gzip -d ../xzoom_0.3-23.diff.gz cd "$pkgname-$pkgver" patch -p1 < ../../xzoom_0.3-23.diff xmkmf sed -i "s@-O2@$CFLAGS@" ./Makefile make } package() { make -C "$pkgname-$pkgver" DESTDIR="$pkgdir" install install.man }

The .diff patch is no longer present on the ftp://sunsite.unc.edu/pub/linux/libs/X/ ftp, so these lines need to be removed from the makepkg, or a new source has to be found: patch -p1 < ../../xzoom_0.3-23.diff sed -i "s@-O2@$CFLAGS@" ./Makefile

this works on my i5 machine can you add x86_64 to the arch array thanks
