How to build neomutt:
Open neomutt.SlackBuild in vim and apply the following command
Code:
:%s/PRGNAM/PKGNAM/g
this builds fine here, I have no idea why you have to do that there...

I'm the maintainer of openresolv. I forgot about this issue when I submitted my last update. I fixed the script and submitted a pull request to fix it today.
it seems that there are problems in the headers generated by glib-mkenums (a generated line starts with a backslash) and build breaks at the start, but I wasn't able to find a solution yet...
Well, just crap. If I'd read this about thirty minutes ago, I could have saved the last thirty minutes I've spent figuring out that very thing. However, I think it's a problem with the new make-4.3:
Code:
* WARNING: Backward-incompatibility!
Number signs (#) appearing inside a macro reference or function invocation
no longer introduce comments and should not be escaped with backslashes:
thus a call such as:
foo := $(shell echo '#')
is legal. Previously the number sign needed to be escaped, for example:
foo := $(shell echo '\#')
Now this latter will resolve to "\#". If you want to write makefiles
portable to both versions, assign the number sign to a variable:
H := \#
foo := $(shell echo '$H')
This was claimed to be fixed in 3.81, but wasn't, for some reason.
To detect this change search for 'nocomment' in the .FEATURES variable.
I too was unable to fix it, at least not without breaking something else that made the build fail. :/
as willysr said the old version seems to build fine here too, but if also upstream says that version 2.8 is needed by python 3.8 I suppose it's better to bump it: yes, according to pyproject.toml, it actually needs wheel as a dependency...

reporting it upstream will be difficult because they moved to meson removing all the make stuff...
...but that seems to help here too indeed: I've tried to switch to meson and gst-plugins-bad seems to build fine!

Thanks for the meson tip, works here as well.
Only problem is now reading the log and figuring out what is getting built is EXTREMELY more difficult. Instead of a nice list of what is getting built after the config process, you need to read through the entire config process and see what is found and being built. Great job freedesktop.org!
The problem is xml2po is compiled as a python2 package in the linuxdoc-tools package, but /usr/bin/xml2po expects it to by python3. The reason behind this is an issue is the ./configure for gnome-doc-utils will autodetect the default python version, which on Slackware, is python2. If you set PYTHON=python3 when running ./configure for it, it will then compile xml2po as a python3 module.
