Did you install the package after you created it? as root do "installpkg /tmp/devede-3.16.9-noarch-2_SBo.tgz" Then you should be good to go.

The package is created
Now you need to install it

Code:

installpkg /tmp/devede-3.16.9-noarch-2_SBo.tgz

However, you need to instal
dvdauthor, vcdimager and spumix in order to run it.

Kind regards

once you get the idea of what you are doing, then you should start using sbopkg, it will save you A LOT of time, but cheers for doing it the harder way, its always good to learn.

1.tar -xvzf progname.tar.gz
2.mv progname.tar.bz2 progname/
3.cd progname/
sudo sh progname.Slackbuild
4.wget SourceURL
5.su

Or you download the file first (1) an and move it into the directory
Or you use wget to get the file (4)

Now you have the file twice.

Kind regards

I just wrote a lengthy tutorial on this subject:

Thanks for the tutorial. Looks great. I think i will stick with old fashioned way for installing its sometimes a challenge and thats why i installed slackware.

Found a easier way actually. Download the slackbuild package extract that into your home folder then save the source package in that same folder. Go to the terminal, sudo cd /name, Then sh name.slackbuild then. Cd /tmp -->> installpkg sbo.pkg.gz then ur done way easier.
