Install

Full Slackware installation is required. You can skip kde, kdei and xfce.

In the directory base/ you can find the file compile-order. Build and install all the files on that list.

Alternative we have developed a build system that makes everything easier. It reads the compile-order file and builds and installs everything on that list.

Download and install the build system:

git clone https://github.com/Dlackware/dlackware
cd dlackware
git checkout 0.3
./dlackware.SlackBuild
upgradepkg --install-new /var/cache/dlackware/dlackware-*-noarch-*_dlack.txz

Download build scripts:

git clone https://github.com/Dlackware/gnome
cd gnome
git checkout 3.22/14.2
git submodule update --init

Configure the build system

Edit /etc/dlackware.conf and set DLACK_REPOS_ROOT to the directory with the cloned gnome repository.

Build the packages

dlackware build

After the first round systemd should be installed. Reboot now:

reboot

Now Gnome can be build. Edit /etc/dlackware.conf and uncomment the second line with DLACK_REPOS. Run again:

dlackware build

It will take some time but you should end with the built desktop. Reboot again and you can start using Gnome.
