got it, thanks

I notice that for each I have to get all the depends aboard first.
Not a problem, compiling from source ain't either, but it's a list
of things to discover, learn, and get used to.

I started with this one only because it's 1st
in the order in which I usually launch them.
The depends chain went back to python3 which
I DL'd, unpacked, and then began to install. The
'make test' seems to be stuck on

running: test_socket (19 min 11 sec)
running: test_socket (19 min 41 sec)
running: test_socket (20 min 11 sec)
running: test_socket (20 min 41 sec)
running: test_socket (21 min 11 sec)

is there any point in going to 'make install' with this?

I think that the easiest way to install things from slackbuilds.org is to
use slpkg:

https://slackbuilds.org/repository/14.2/system/slpkg/?search=slpkg

Once that is installed you can simply do:

slpkg -s sbo qjackctl

to get qjackctl downloaded, compiled and installed with all its
dependencies.

thank you very much

I took 3 runs at it and half the night but got
the 1st one on the list installed by religiously
following the SlackBuild routines for something
like half a dozen depends soooo, I'd be a good
candidate for slpkg as well, just wanna clean
this issue up before trying for more :)

This was all on my desktop, I'll be on the
laptop all day

User wasn't in group 'audio', qjackctl setup
did not have 'start jack' checked, plus a couple
of chickenshit issues. I got fed up and simply
copied in the config from my Leap system. Now
qjackctl starts but it's limping, paralised really.
I'll come back tomorrow with more in a new thread.

There is also channel #slackbuilds on freenode

On Freenode it's ##slackware (#slackware is a closed developer-cabal
channel). On OFTC it's #slackware. Both are reasonably lively.

Welcome to Usenet! Mind you the party that was Usenet has ended some
years ago :(.

As for IRC: the channel is ##slackware (note the 2 #s) and if you are
new to IRC perhaps hexchat might be your best option. Hexchat comes as
part of a full Slackware install...

You think that's air you're breathing now?

to which the californian reply used to be:
"if i can't see it i don't breathe it" :)

Thanks, I'm not new to usenet but it was my first
attempt from a T-bird install on Slackware. No
contest about the party. And it was hexchat I
tried but with only a single #

So far I have never installed anything on Slack
that wasn't from the install DVD. I've poked at
it from time to time but now I mean it (famous
last words). I'd like to do get the tweaks outta
the way before 15.0 and THAT promises to be
a LOT or work, time for which don't come easy.
