OK
heres the slkbuild I just edited as you and ponce said and it failed
Code:
#Maintainer: George Vlahavas <vlahavas~at~gmail~dot~com>
pkgname=slim
pkgver=1.3.1
pkgrel=1gv
arch=i486
source=slim-1.3.1.tar.gz
sourcetemplate=
docs=("readme" "install" "copying" "changelog" "authors" "news" "todo" "themes")
options=('noautodotnew')
dotnew=('etc/slim.conf')

Heres where the build failed
Code:
test -e /root/Desktop/SLIM/nubuild/pkg/etc/slim.conf || \
install -D -m 644 slim.conf /root/Desktop/SLIM/nubuild/pkg/etc/slim.conf && install -D -m 644 rc.4 /root/Desktop/SLIM/nubuild/pkg/etc/rc.d/rc.4
cp: cannot stat `/root/Desktop/SLIM/nubuild/src/icelite': No such file or directory
./build-slim.sh: line 180: /root/Desktop/SLIM/nubuild/pkg/install/doinst.sh: No such file or directory
build() failed.
why use the SLKBUILD if build-slim.sh also came with it? |

I repeat, I don't know salix buildscript, but I think you don't need my line there with
Code:
options=('noautodotnew')
also, reading this
Code:
cp: cannot stat `/root/Desktop/SLIM/nubuild/src/icelite': No such file or directory
I think you need icelite theme is src folder.

I'm giving up on this one I think
now the build-slim.sh, which was working, now also quits
both the SLKBUILD and build-slim.sh "create a src and pkg folder, not me
all my stuff is in slim-1.3.1 folder which i make into tar.gz and then run build.sh whatever...
shit
I just waan replace the damn rc.4 thats it!

Well, of course it fails. Do you notice an mv line in my SLKBUILD? You also have to provide sources in the source line, which you stripped for no reason. Use something like this:
Code:
#Maintainer: George Vlahavas <vlahavas~at~gmail~dot~com>
pkgname=slim
pkgver=1.3.1
pkgrel=1gv
arch=i486
source=("http://download.berlios.de/slim/slim-1.3.1.tar.gz" "rc.4" "icelite.tar.gz")
docs=("readme" "install" "copying" "changelog" "authors" "news" "todo" "themes")
options=('noautodotnew')
dotnew=('etc/slim.conf')
url=http://slim.berlios.de/

)
build() {
cd $startdir/src/$pkgname-$pkgver
sed -i "s/CFLAGS=/CFLAGS+= /" Makefile
make || return 1
make install DESTDIR=$startdir/pkg
THEMES="icelite"
for i in $THEMES; do
cp -a $startdir/src/$i $startdir/pkg/usr/share/slim/themes
done
chown -R root:root $startdir/pkg/usr/share/slim/themes
sed -i "s/current_theme\(.*\)/current_theme icelite/" $startdir/pkg/etc/slim.conf
mkdir -p $startdir/pkg/etc/rc.d
cp $startdir/src/rc.4 $startdir/pkg/etc/rc.d/
}
Make sure the theme's filename is icelite.tar.gz and it extracts to a directory named "icelite", or change the source line near the top and the cp -a line in the for loop (which is not needed if you only have one theme by the way). |

I could, but how would you learn anything like that?  If you read my previous post carefully, I'm sure you'll find the way to do it eventually.
And another way to accomplish what you want, which is also a lot cleaner, is leave the slim package with no rc.4 script at all, and rebuild the sysvinit-scripts package with your edited rc.4. Here's the source from slackware: ftp://ftp.ntua.gr/pub/linux/slackwar...vinit-scripts/ |

You can make your own later in ./install/doinst.sh and rebuild the

This next step is optional - you can set the directories in your package

Would you like to reset all directory permissions to 755 (drwxr-xr-x) and

You need to get everything from that source directory, including the scripts directory with every file in it.
