Hello,

I have one maybe stupid question.
If a want to install something from slackbuilds with sbopkg do i have to enter that i have a 64 bit system or does slackbuilds reconize this themselves ?

If you set those variables, I believe sbopkg should follow it.

There's an option in sbopkg's menu that allows you to enter commands like ARCH=x86_64.

Hi, I tried to answer you in IRC but you left in 2 minutes after joining. I then responded to your email as well. Just give me more than a couple of minutes.

In any event, sbopkg checks this automatically with 'uname -m'. No need to set anything.

Ah, I didn't know that, I mustn't have RTFM. I've been using it on 12.2 for quite a while, it's great.

Oke,

Thanks everybody for the help.

I hope that pypanel, nitrogen and netwmpager will soon be avaible as slackbuild.
