A PKGBUILD is a shell script containing the build information required by Arch Linux packages. Arch Wiki
Packages in Arch Linux are built using the makepkg utility. When makepkg is run, it searches for a PKGBUILD file in the current directory and follows the instructions therein to either compile or otherwise acquire the files to build a package archive (pkgname.pkg.tar.zst). The resulting package contains binary files and installation instructions, readily installable with pacman.
Mandatory variables are pkgname, pkgver, pkgrel, and arch. license is not strictly necessary to build a package, but is recommended for any PKGBUILD shared with others, as makepkg will produce a warning if not present.
Example
PKGBUILD:
# Maintainer: User <mail>
pkgname=NAME
pkgver=VERSION
pkgrel=1
pkgdesc="DESCRIPTION"
arch=('x86_64')
url=URL
license=("MIT")
depends=("git")
makedepends=("git")
source=("FILE_NAME::FILE_URL")
sha256sums=("SKIP")
prepare() {
}
pkver() {
}
build() {
cd "$pkgname"
make
}
check() {
}
package() {
cd "$pkgname"
install -Dm755 ./app "$pkgdir/usr/bin/app"
}
