Hi, I recently installed VTun on one of my machines and noticed that the daemon complains about not being able to write its PID file.
This is the message I found in my /var/log/errors:

vtund[1028]: Can't write PID file

I had a closer look and discovered that the problem is due to an incorrect specification of --localstatedir in the ./configure step in the PKGBUILD: it should be /var instead of /var/run, because in the resulting Makefile the /run suffix is automatically added.
I prepared a corrected PKGBUILD and am attaching the resulting patch.
Please note that I also added a makedepends array, in order to make sure all the necessary tools for building VTun are installed (missing in the original PKGBUILD).
I thought it was necessary, as I had some weird time figuring out all the needed dependencies.
