From Manjaro
If makepkg finishes successfully, it will place a file named pkgname-pkgver.pkg.tar.xz in your working directory. This package can be installed with the pacman -U command. However, just because a package file was built does not imply that it is fully functional. It might conceivably contain only the directory and no files whatsoever if, for example, a prefix was specified improperly. You can use pacman's query functions to display a list of files contained in the package and the dependencies it requires with pacman -Qlp [package file] and pacman -Qip [package file] respectively.
