In lieu of a 'configure' step, several configuration parameters may be supplied
directly to 'make'. So I guess that at a minimum, a PKGBUILD would look
something like this:
pkgname=emelfm2
pkgver=0.1.4
pkgrel=1
pkgdesc="A file manager for UNIX-like operating systems"
url="http://emelfm2.net";
license="GPL"
depends=(gtk2) << whatever is needed for gtk2 >= 2.4
makedepends=()
conflicts=()
replaces=()
backup=()
install=
source=(http://emelfm2.net/rel/emelfm2-0.1.4.tar.gz)
md5sums=(da39b1d017366fb41700c5d40365a1ae)
build() {
cd $startdir/src/$pkgname-$pkgver
make PREFIX=/usr || return 1 << see file <emelfm2-src-path>/docs/INSTALL for
other 'make' parameters
make prefix=$startdir/pkg/usr install
make prefix=$startdir/pkg/usr install_i18n << if you want fr or ja translation

If I recall, you mentioned that you can do that manually.
What happens if you manually create directories
/home/salon/.emelfm2
and
/home/salon/.emelfm2/Trash
before starting an emelfm2 session ?

I use 4.0.2 without problem. Presumably 4.0.3 is ok

I think this might be your glib version, as opposed to glibc
In general, glibc is at 2.3.x, and for arch, probably glibc-2.3.5-8.pkg.tar.gz.
Making directories and saving files relies on this. But those are such basic
functions it's hard to imagine something wrong there.
