Hi,
Is it possible to create a slackware binary for the synapse application launcher? It is an excellent launcher that uses the zeitgeist engine.
The home page is below.
https://launchpad.net/synapse-project
Thanks,
Balaji.

Salix has tools like this to launch applications which do not need all these deps.
since you want it then READ this
READ-ME_1st
For 32bit salix 14.1 Download all packages from
here and install them
For x86_64 build them yourself. I do not have 64 14.1 system.

Hi,
I know this is a very old post. However, I tried to install Synapse yesterday and got it working perfectly. Below is a little how-to to get it working.
1. Download the latest version of Synapse from
https://launchpad.net/synapse-project.
2. Download the dependency component zeitgeist from
https://pkgs.org for Salix 14.2 and install it.
3. Install the c-compiler valac from Salix repos. Easiest way to install valac is to install vala package as shown below.
4. Run the following commands one by one.
Code: Select all
./configure ==> should be executed from the directory where Synapse source is available.
make
sudo make install
I hope this helps somebody.
Thanks,
Balaji.

pnbalaji, usually not a good idea to mix packages from other repos...SBo from Slackbuilds or self-made SBo are an exception.

I agree. However, though I like Salix very much, the one thing that always beats me is the unavailability of softwares that I need. Some examples are:
Synapse
JEdit Text Editor
LXDE Menu Editor
etc..etc..
Thanks,
Balaji.

If you miss a software package, you can propose a SlackBuild for it:
https://slackbuilds.org/guidelines/ or an SLKBUILD to make a package for the Salix repository:
