Answer 1

It is ok! I go into sim-0.9.5-svn20080806-dfsg.tar.bz2\admin\cvs.sh and comment all lines than checks package version:
#check_autotool_versions()
#required_autoconf_version="2.53 or newer"
#AUTOCONF_VERSION=`$AUTOCONF --version | head -n 1`
#case $AUTOCONF_VERSION in
# Autoconf*2.5* | autoconf*2.5* | autoconf*2.6* ) : ;;
# echo "*** AUTOCONF NOT FOUND!."
# echo "*** SIM requires autoconf $required_autoconf_version"
# exit 1
# echo "*** YOU'RE USING $AUTOCONF_VERSION."
# echo "*** SIM requires autoconf $required_autoconf_version"
# exit 1
#esac
#AUTOHEADER_VERSION=`$AUTOHEADER --version | head -n 1`
#case $AUTOHEADER_VERSION in
# Autoconf*2.5* | autoheader*2.5* | autoheader*2.6* ) : ;;
# echo "*** AUTOHEADER NOT FOUND!."
# echo "*** SIM requires autoheader $required_autoconf_version"
# exit 1
# echo "*** YOU'RE USING $AUTOHEADER_VERSION."
# echo "*** SIM requires autoheader $required_autoconf_version"
# exit 1
#esac
#AUTOMAKE_STRING=`$AUTOMAKE --version | head -n 1`
#required_automake_version="1.6.1 or newer"
#case $AUTOMAKE_STRING in
# automake*1.5d* | automake*1.5* | automake*1.5-* )
# echo "*** YOU'RE USING $AUTOMAKE_STRING."
# echo "*** SIM requires automake $required_automake_version"
# exit 1
# automake*1.6.* | automake*1.7* | automake*1.8* | automake*1.9* | automake*1.10*)
# echo "*** $AUTOMAKE_STRING found."
# UNSERMAKE=no
# echo "*** AUTOMAKE NOT FOUND!."
# echo "*** SIM requires automake $required_automake_version"
# exit 1
# *unsermake* ) :
# echo "*** YOU'RE USING UNSERMAKE."
# echo "*** GOOD LUCK!! "
# UNSERMAKE=unsermake
# echo "*** YOU'RE USING $AUTOMAKE_STRING."
# echo "*** SIM requires automake $required_automake_version"
# exit 1
#esac
#unset required_automake_version
#check_autotool_versions
Now my PKGBUILD seems like this (I changed only md5sums):
# Contributer: noMaster <[email protected]> 
pkgname=sim
pkgver=0.9.5
pkgrel=1
pkgdesc="sim instant messanger"
url="http://sim-im.berlios.de"
license="gpl"
depends=(libxml2 openssl kdelibs zip qt libxslt glibc)
source=(http://download.berlios.de/sim-im/sim-0.9.5-svn20080806-dfsg.tar.bz2)
md5sums=(f03ff5c148c334382789e11041c46dc8)
build() {
  cd $startdir/src/$pkgname-$pkgver-svn20080806-dfsg
  make -f admin/Makefile.common
  ./configure --prefix=/usr
  make || return 1
  make DESTDIR=$startdir/pkg install
And there is other error!!!:
