I have spent hours trying to figure out how to install avahi on this OS
No one can seem to tell me how to compile the software.

Hi!

I hope it helps:

While I didn't try its functionality, I was able to build it with the following process:

With backporting from salix-current

• * go to some salix mirror which contains the 'current' repo also, such as ftp://ftp.slackware.org.uk/salix
  * go to i486/current/source/l/libdaemon, download the files
  * execute 'slkbuild -x' as root or with fakeroot
  * install the package which is created in this dir (installpkg libdaemon-0.13-i486-1dj.txz as root)
  * go to i486/current/source/xap/avahi, download the files
  * read the README.Slackware file
  * execute 'slkbuild -x' as root or with fakeroot
  * install as root

Another option would be using the slackbuilds repository with slapt-src.

• * su -
  * slapt-src -u
  * slapt-src -i libdaemon
  * slapt-src -f avahi
  * before building avahi read README.sbo (it is somewhere /usr/src/slapt-src/network/avahi)
  * slapt-src -i avahi

any other dependency should be resolved by installing official binary packages with slapt-get/glsapt
I have an xfce salix edition but I have 'qt' installed. 'gtk' must be installed if you were selected a 'full' install option when you installed salix.

I wrote this just before I came to this post => http://www.salixos.org/forum/viewtopic. ... 986#p12774

Well, teqmo let us know if slapt-src helped solve your problem.
