i dont kknow how to do it

Did you check the hidden secret in the above post?

Summary

What you used before was -si and now trying it with -Si. Always to remember in Linux: all commands and arguments are case-sensitive. Uppercase and lowercase both make a huge difference.

Hi @hisham_6c5

For future reference, you can get a complete list of arguments for makepkg several ways; here's a couple of them.

makepkg -- Arch Manual Pages

or via:

makepkg -h

That will display a list of arguments/switches you can use...

Best wishes!
