Eschalon_book2 package install: cp: cannot stat error?

Question

Hi All,
Trying to install an eschalon2 pkgbuild from the AUR. I already edited the PKGBUILD for the correct source URL and regenerated the correct MD5's, I'm stuck at the below error though, some help would be much appreciated! Please see my terminal output below:
[user@USER eschalon2]$ yaourt -S eschalon2
==> Downloading eschalon2 PKGBUILD from AUR...
x eschalon2.launcher
x eschalon2.install
x EschalonBook2.png
x PKGBUILD
x eschalon2.desktop

Answer 1

The url is wrong.  That is not a tarball, it is an html file.
Edit: unless you have a better link, it looks like the source needs to be downloaded manually from the site.
Edit2: after manually downloading the tarball, it "built" fine.  I did run into an issue of running out of space on my /tmp partition while compressing it though.  The pkg is over 1GB.
Removing the no longer needed tarballs and running `makepkg -ef` fixed that issue.
Also note, that this PKGBUILD should be modified.  All the work here should be moved to the "install" function rather than the "build" function as there is nothing to build.
WARNING: after futzing with that I thought I'd install it to see what the game was.  It is a "trial version only" of a program that, at least in my case, failed miserably, but only after changing my video mode.  Egh, that goes right in the bit bucket.
