These are a few URLs that provide information about how to build packages for Slackware Linux: Slackware Linux Essentials book ------------------------------- http://www.slackware.com/book/index.php?source=x4132.html Linux packages -------------- This web site has a great number of pre-built packages for Slackware. It also has a HOWTO about building packages: http://www.linuxpackages.net/howto/howto.php?page=package Slackbuilds.org ------------------ This site has a huge repository of build scripts for Slackware. They are all 'SlackBuild' type -- eg the 'clean' builds (the preferred method -- i.e. these do not need slacktrack) http://www.slackbuilds.org Slackware's official build scripts ---------------------------------- I also recommend that you look at the official Slackware build scripts that can be found on the FTP site in the 'source' directory of the distribution (e.g. slackware/slackware-9.1/source)
