What you can find here...
In short words:
Here you can download buildtools for Slackware Linux to compile/install applications from source easily using Slackware packages. Please read the F.A.Q.!
Some more details:
The buildtools will make compile packages from source easy, as long as you have installed all required packages (if not, check the archive for other buildtools). Have a look here for more details.
For friends of the Gnome desktop
If you want to install a complete GNOME desktop only, then you can try the buildsystem: A script to install GNOME from the official sources using the Slackware way: creating packages from source and use installpkg for install. Feel free to read the documentation or watch some sample videos.
For the geeks:
The buildsystem includes about 1000 buildtools to install the GNOME or KDE desktop including extra applications, Mono platform and a lot of other packages.
This project is still free of PAM!
