Yes, Slackbuilds was my second choice. You'll have to find out and be responsible for installing any prerequisite libs and other dependencies, though. I have Opera running on my Slack 12.0, but I unfortunately did not make any notations in my notebook as to what method I used to install it. I'm pretty sure I used the LinuxPackages build that I linked for you in that first post. It works fine for me.
Luck with it...
P.S. There is a tar.gz version for Slackware at the Opera site. Just click here:
But I still don't know how can I get profit from SlackBuilds.org with Opera ?
I know Opera is a closed-source application, So how can I build it ?
Except you mean I just make a Slackware package (tgz) from binary official package.
Distribution: Slackware & Slamd64. What else is there?

Rep:
Yes, because binary installers rarely put things in standard locations (thank you Sun Microsystems for your VirtualBox installer which DOES!!!) Slackbuilds are worthwhile even for binary packages like opera and skype. It's not just about making a .tgz package, it's about putting the executables, libraries, and configs in the right places in your system.
Thanks .. but I put the link before in my previous post:
