One of the key tools for building packages is makepkg (provided by pacman) which does the following:
- Checks if package dependencies are installed.
- Downloads the source file(s) from the specified server(s).
- Unpacks the source file(s).
- Compiles the software and installs it under a fakeroot environment.
- Strips symbols from binaries and libraries.
- Generates the package meta file which is included with each package.
- Compresses the fakeroot environment into a package file.
- Stores the package file in the configured destination directory, which is the present working directory by default.
