I just used a script like this, copied and run from the folder in question

Code:

TAG=${TAG:-custom}

PKGTYPE=${PKGTYPE:-txz}

MAKEFLAGS=${MAKEFLAGS:--j7} # Use 7 jobs for building



TMP=${TMP:-/tmp/SBo}

OUTPUT=${OUTPUT:-/tmp}



CWD=$(pwd)



set -e



for PRGNAM in \

  pkg1 \

  pkg2 \

  pkg3 \

  etc \

; do



  echo "* * * * * *"

  echo "* building $PRGNAM"

  echo "* * * * * *"



  cd $CWD/$PRGNAM

  rm -f $OUTPUT/$PRGNAM*.$PKGTYPE

  MAKEFLAGS=$MAKEFLAGS PKGTYPE=$PKGTYPE TAG=$TAG TMP=$TMP OUTPUT=$OUTPUT \

    sh $PRGNAM.SlackBuild

  upgradepkg --install-new --reinstall $OUTPUT/$PRGNAM*.$PKGTYPE

done

obviously the slackbuilds must support those variables (the ones coming from slackbuilds.org do).

Did that work with 30 packages in one dir?

why not?

if their slackbuilds are all compatible, you list them all in the script, build them in the correct order (needed if some are dependencies of others), you can build how much you like.

but, if you hadn't make any local changes and you simply want to build the stuff from slackbuilds.org, sbopkg is a smarter solution.

You can't understand me correctly, ,or i can't understand what you telling me i want to put source packages in one directory,one configure file for all packages in other one directory and build all packages with one slackbuild script like this one http://slackware.osuosl.org/slackwar.../source/x/x11/

I never have gone that route, but obviously you can take those slackbuilds as a base.

I'm just thinkinking that can be useful for self-contained projects, like X11 or KDE, but for already existing build script like, for example, the one of slackbuilds.org that get updated autonomously, it gets difficult to sync etherogeneous upstream changes with the build scripts (that must support all possible cases)...

Yes but i don't know how to edit x11-Slackbuild script
Sorry about Kde script

if you don't have any experience with bash scripting you will have a real hard time editing a complex bash script like that: the only solution I see if you really want to do this is to learn bash scripting, there's no easy way out

My suggestion: learn to cook. Buy a book or two about Bash scripting and/or work through the Advanced Bash Scripting Guide on the Internet. Read through existing SlackBuilds (official and third-party) to check out what they actually do and how they work. And then start slowly building your own stuff.

Take your time for this task. And most importantly: have fun.

Cheers,

Niki

PS: I think what you want to do looks a bit like this: http://www.microlinux.fr/slackware/14.0/

Mmm! I've got that in the crockpot right now... No really, I do! =)

I do have to say that I love slackbuilds, I know I wouldn't be able to effectively use Slackware without them.
