I second the sbopkg recomendation - quite an amazing package. When you have installed it have a look at the queuefiles repository from Mauro Giachero - a co-developer on sbopkg. They really help with complex builds needing lots of dependencies.

I have still have some things to install (from slackbuilds) like qtcreator, vlc player, ...

FYI, VLC is not available on slackbuilds.org. Most of us (I think) install it from Alien Bob's site:
