Hello,

I am not well versed in building my own packages. I just used on the other computer the Anki in the Slackbuilds & it worked fine.

But, I cant seem to find a way to build the latest Anki as the systemd is listed as one of the dependency. Is there a way to circumvent it? I was looking at Mnemosyne & couldn't find the slackbuild for 15. It was there earlier as its a quality software. Any help/guidance would be appreciated as these quality flash card programs are one of the core necessities of modern learning.

Thank you.

Most software that depends on systemd actually needs the systemd logind daemon. You can use elogind as a replacement for this.

BTW, the link in the slackbuild is no longer available
2.1.16 no longer exists

The latest *-source archive is : 2.1.15

Thank you for the link. I was looking for Mnemosyne build for 14.2 & got everything built up except this https://slackbuilds.org/repository/1...python3-PyQt5/

I can't find that for Slackware 15 in slackbuilds. Any help would be appreciated.

This is a problem I have had. I appreciate what hazel said about:
But although I can and have built my own SlackBuilds this would definitely be beyond me.

There was a post here that discussed this problem although a solution was offered by ponce it wasn't really resolved.

Anki is probably the most popular and useful tool of its kind so I too am interested in finding a way to get an up to date and working SlackBuild for this.

Sorry, I didn't make myself clear. elogind is already there if you have Slackware-15.Patrick finally bit the bullet and included it because so much software now requires it.

I know But my attempts to build Anki with it installed have all failed. I was thinking whether it might need some wizardry in the SlackBuild that would certainly be beyond my skills as a hobbyist. I am merely an MH nurse who reads programming books, when you are having to deal with people all day its very therapeutic . I've just come back from a couple of months staying in a monastery, I might have another play but I am thinking that the SlackBuild may have been orphaned for a reason.

Mnemosyne is another minimal but an excellent alternative to Anki. I realized that Mnemosyne is simpler that effective while Anki has many, many options to tweak. I downloaded the Mnemosyne source file & read the readme. The developer went on to do pip-install the libraries. I was wondering where all that would go with the system libraries. Got it to compile but no response. Ran in terminal & got stuck with some error message regarding google trans & tts libraries which I have no clue how to build properly.
