Brian’s SlackBuilds

A repository for SlackBuild scripts that I create. SlackBuilds are scripts used to build software packages for Slackware systems. Dependencies are listed in the package-name.info file in the REQUIRES variable and must be retrieved manually.

SlackBuilds

SlackBuilds that have been submitted and approved for inclusion in the SlackBuilds.org project are grouped under the Official list with a link to their corresponding page on the SlackBuilds website.

Official

• cglm (Maintained by me | SlackBuilds.org - cglm)
• JSBSim (Maintained by me | SlackBuilds.org - JSBSim)
• sdorfehs (Maintained by me | SlackBuilds.org - sdorfehs)

Unofficial

Building

Clone the repository and select the desired branch. Currently both the release-15.0 and current branches can be used with Slackware 15.0.

$ git clone https://github.com/cppimmo/SlackBuilds.git SlackBuilds_Brian
$ cd SlackBuilds_Brian && git checkout -b current origin/current

To build a single SlackBuild:

$ cd /slackbuild/directory
$ source ./prgnam.info
$ wget $DOWNLOAD

$ sudo bash ./prgnam.SlackBuild
$ # or
$ chmod +x ./prgnam.SlackBuild
$ sudo ./prgnam.SlackBuild

If you need to supply options shown in the README of a SlackBuild:

$ su -
$ cd /your/SlackBuild/directory/ # Replace this with the directory your SlackBuild is located
$ OPTION1=VALUE OPTION2=VALUE bash ./prgnam.SlackBuild

You can build all of my SlackBuilds in bulk with the distribute.py Python 3 script in the root of this repository:

$ sudo ./distribute.py --build-all

You can also choose to create only a single SlackBuild package using:

$ sudo ./distribute.py --build-single sdorfehs # Replace with needed SlackBuild name

You can also be prompted to supply options for each script. The format for options is OPTION1=VALUE OPTION2=VALUE. You should view the README for each script to see which options are available. See the following snippet:

$ sudo ./distribute.py --build-all --options

By default the created packages will be placed in a directory named build at the root of the repository. You can provide different values to the TMP and OUTPUT variables of the SlackBuild scripts by using:

$ sudo ./distribute.py --build-all --options --tmp-dir /path/to/tmp/dir --output-dir /path/to/output/dir

You can install the created packages using the following commands:

$ sudo /sbin/installpkg whatever_package-x86_64-1_SBo.tgz
$ # or
$ sudo /sbin/upgradepkg --install-new whatever_package-x86_64-1_SBo.tgz

To uninstall a package:

$ sudo /sbin/removepkg whatever_package # Note that you needn't specify the version

Disclaimer

My SlackBuilds that have been approved and included in the SlackBuilds.org project use the _SBo tag, while those that have not use the _Brian tag. It should be noted that, while some of these SlackBuilds use the _SBo tag, the official download source is preferred as they can be verified. You can find those links in the SlackBuilds section of this document.

Note that SlackBuilds with the _Brian tag are not official; meaning they are not endorsed by the SlackBuilds.org project. Install at your own risk.
