Salix OS

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.

Thanks,

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.

Thanks. I also using Synapse & Zeitgeist. Tried to install Synapse but no luck. Instead I have installed your packages.

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. 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: https://docs.salixos.org/wiki/Submittin ... repository

Thanks for the info. I was not aware of it.

Thanks,
