checkinstall with slackware.
how do i use checkinstall with slackware. i read the README but its not verry helpfull. it has more of an agenda of explaing how it works rather than explaining how to work it.
are there any links that explain this, or could someone explain this for me? heres the URL for checkinstall |
Build your sources the way you are used to, but instead of make install use checkinstall. It's interactive and not difficult to use at all. It will create a Slackware package for you in the source dir and installs it. So you can manage your newly built package with normal Slackware pkgtool.

o, so i just type "checkinstall" and it will give me some sort of menu driven program that helps me make the package?

Do the ./configure (or whatever it is) and the make stuff. Don't do the make install. Type checkinstall -ss (in the same directory that source code is) and it will present you a interactive window to create your packages
I loved this checkinstall stuff.... really,really nice piece of software. Got this typing checkinstall --help, guess this is what you want - this is just part of the help screen Quote:
