# LXQT on Slackware
-A collection of scripts to let you build [LXQT](https://github.com/lxqt/lxqt/) 0.15.0 on Slackware
+A collection of scripts to let you build [LXQT](https://github.com/lxqt/lxqt/) 0.16.0 on Slackware
## Getting Started
* libstatgrab - [SBo](https://slackbuilds.org/repository/14.2/libraries/libstatgrab/)
* libconfig - [SBo](https://slackbuilds.org/repository/14.2/libraries/libconfig/)
-Then I used AlienBob's ktown repository and installed his KDE5 packages, I've used the PAM enabled packages because I recently converted my slackware64-current to PAM, so if you decide to go the non-PAM way, I have no idea if you'll be able to build without the need for patches.
-The latest set of packages for KDE5 from AlienBob are here --> [ktown](https://alien.slackbook.org/ktown/current/)
+Since early December 2020 kde5 is now merged inside the main tree on -current, so you no longer need to install the ktown repository from AlienBob. I've updated the Prerequisites list to reflect the latest installed versions as of 17/12/2020
### Preparation
Before we get to start building we need to do a few things:
* Check prerequisite packages to ensure that we have all dependancies:
+ * after running this script we'll have a log of all the installed dependancies as well as hints on where to find those packages we are missing.
+ * a little notice regarding gtk+2 and gtk+3, even if those 2 packages are installed, my script doesn't see them, I think it has something to do with the way regex works and the fact that there's a + in the name, but I didn't investigate much. Bottom line, if you have them installed you're good to go!
+
```
sh CHECK_PREREQ.sh
```

* Download the source tree, this operation will also give us the version numbers for every package
+ * this script will generate a versioning file containing all the version numbers for the packages.

```
sh DOWNLOAD.sh
```
- * this script will generate a versioning file containing all the version numbers for the packages.
