Here is a 64bit skype package which run without multilib and pulseaudio on 64bit systems. 32bit libs and 32bit libs for pulseaudio are included.
This has been tested on slackel current and is working fine.

If for any reason this don't run on slackware 14.1 then download everything from here
and then run to produce the 64bit package for 14.1

Works here on my x86-64 system, but needed to install jack first.

Thanks laprjns. I added jack as a dep for including pulseaudio. I had jack installed so i did not see that jack was a dep.

Thanks very much for this

I am sure many users will find it useful.

Removed jack from my system and rebuild the skype-nomultilib package.
Now it runs without jack.
Please download again and confirm.

jack removed, new skype package downloaded and installed and works here.

Thanks.

Thanks djemos! Although I don't use skype myself, I know others do!

I suppose that I am missing something here
I downloaded first the tar and unarchived it ...........
but the results when attempting to run the SlackBuild doinst

root[SlackBuild]# ./doinst.sh
./doinst.sh: line 1: cd: lib: No such file or directory

and the dir does exist
I have not had problems with other SlackBuilds so apparently or stupidly missing a step here..

Not sure what you are trying to do, but if you want to installl the binary package that djemos built and provided this link to:
http://www.slackel.gr/repo/x86_64/curre ... 64-1dj.txz

Then after downloading it you need to install it using spkg like this.
