Waf error when installing Samba 4.14.3 on Slackware 14.2

So, I've been trying to install Samba 4.14.3 on my Slackware 14.2 but the only result I would get is:
Code:the project was not configured: run "waf configure" first!After running the command "waf configure" another error message pops up regarding the waf configuration.

Before coming across this error, I had a problem with Python since Slack didn't have Python3, so I manually installed it from SlackBuilds.
Then, when it came to making binaries and compiling the source code, by running "./configure", "make", and "make install", the only thing that went through was "./configure".

I dug out something regarding that "waf" (whatever it is) that you can check out on git.samba.org/third_party/waf.waf15/. I read their README but I couldn't make much sense out of it.
