Instructions and Slack Build Scripts
by Ztcoracat from LinuxQuestions.org on (#6PPK4)
Good Afternoon:
I'm reading here to get started on learning how to write and create Slack Build scripts.
https://docs.slackware.com/slackware:slackbuild_scripts
After creating a directory for the program shutter, I created a slack-desc file for it. However; I'm unsure about the url for the file and other details needed in that file. Did reading online last week about the slack-desc files and looked through a handful of them to programs I've already installed.
Code:cd Shutter
bash-5.1$ ls
shutter-0.99.5 shutter-0.99.5.tar.gz slack-descCreated the file with vim:
Code:# HOW TO EDIT THIS FILE:
# The "handy ruler" below makes it easier to edit a package description.
# Line up the first '|' above the ':' following the base package name, and
# the '|' on the right side marks the last column you can put a character in.
# You must make exactly 11 lines for the formatting to be correct. It's also
# customary to leave one space after the ':' except on otherwise blank lines.

*Or> the main page?
https://shutter-project.org/downloads/source-code/I'm also taking the time to watch others build and compiling software from src in online videos/tutorials.
Retirement allows more time for things that I've been wanting to do-:)
Suggestions are welcomed on steps 1-7 and also, on creating a Slack Build script.
