Hello,There may be a ArchLinux wiki article on pkgbuild scripts for projects in mercurial. If not then there will be some in AUR, which you could use as an example, eg. http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=24719
As for knowing when you may hit problems doing make install, if you don't have or the distribution does not have a package for what you want to install there should be no issue, if it does then where possible I would advise using the package.

Hello Michael, That worked. I thought of doing that but was afraid to because of the package manager problem. I am trying to create a build script. I am using the liblouis script as a model. Mine has to be different, though, because this is a Mercurial repository. I will have to do some research on how to accomplish this.

You probably would need to do make install with sudo or su to get the correct user permissions. In this case there should be no issue to do make install because ArchLinux does not provide a package for it and therefore you will not have make install damaging/altering something installed by pacman. At some point it would be nice to have a ArchLinux package for liblouisutdml, so if you create a pkgbuild script either add it to AUR or post it here.

I don't think I am getting errors from the make command but after I run it file2brl is still not found as a command. I redirected all my output to a file and am attaching it to this message. This was both standard outputanderror output. Can anyone see from this output what might have gone wrong? Anything else to try?
