- | ===== Let's Build a SlackBuild ===== | ||
- | One of the first things I do on any of my Linux installations is to create a hidden directory called .build in my /home directory that I use primarily for manual compiling of applications, | ||

- | |||
- | OK, let’s get started. The first thing you’ll need to do is navigate to [[http:// | ||
- | |||
- | **Figure 2 – Pysolfc SlackBuild Page** | ||

- | |||
- | Now, the next thing you’ll need to do is download the source ([[http:// | ||
- | |||
- | '' | ||
- | |||
- | Or you can unpack it using your favorite graphical decompression application, | ||
- | |||
- | You’ll now have an uncompressed directory called “pysolfc”. Move the source directory (PySolFC-1.1.tar.bz2) that you downloaded previously into your newly uncompressed pysolfc directory. That’s right. Just grab and drag that source directory right on into the pysolfc directory (see Fig 3). | ||

- | * Open your terminal application (Gnome Terminal, Konsole, etc.) | ||
- | |||
- | * Type the following command to make the pysolfc SlackBuild script executable: | ||
- | |||
- | '' | ||
- | |||
- | * As root (to install globally on your Slackware system so all users can access), type the following command: | ||
- | |||
- | ''# | ||
- | |||
- | <note important> | ||
- | |||
- | ''# | ||
- | |||
- | This will let the script know that you’re running a 64 bit system and it will install accordingly.</ | ||
- | |||
- | * If all went well, the SlackBuild script will have created a .tgz package in your /tmp directory. Navigate to the /tmp directory in the terminal: | ||
- | |||
- | ''# | ||
- | |||
- | * Check to see what’s there: | ||
- | |||
- | ''# | ||
- | |||
- | * You should see a file called pysolfc-1.1-i486-2_SBo.tgz. Install it using Slackware’s native pkgtool: | ||
- | |||
- | ''# | ||
- | |||
- | That's it. You'll now find PysolFC in your menu (in Xfce). | ||
