[SOLVED]Makepkg does not create package

I downloaded the b43 firmware from the AUR (https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=21690) and I executed makepkg -S, but there isn't any file that I can install.

I'm guessing you're going to hate this, but it's appropriate:

RTFM

And if that doesn't work, look up AUR on the wiki.

I'll throw another bone: switches are case-sensitive.  Reread the manual with that in mind.

Oops. I must have been confused with the -S option in pacman

I'm not familiar with this particular abbreviation, but I'm gonna go out on a limb and guess:

"Read The Fucking Manual" ?

So google: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RTFM :-)

but I'm gonna go out on a limb and guess:

"Read The Fucking Manual" ?

Or 'read the fine manual' / 'read the friendly manual'.
