My first slackware package
by hazel from LinuxQuestions.org on (#4SWZN)
As I am weaning myself off LFS, I need to migrate a few things that are currently LFS-only onto Slackware. One of them is Philip's Music Writer, which I use to create sheet music for cello parts. It's a lovely program which allows you to create text files in your favourite editor, using a special coding language, and then convert them into postscript music sheets which can be printed off immediately.
Unfortunately the author has retired and the link to his original site is dead. I have no idea if he is still maintaining the package elsewhere. Debian has version 4.30 in Buster, but I was fortunate enough to get 4.31 earlier this year when the website was still up. On LFS, I built it by hand, but I decided to make a proper package for Slackware, adapted from a completely unrelated package that I downloaded from slackbuilds.org.
I've just installed it and it works.
