To make this easier, the SlackBuild will look for +"config.h" in its directory, and copy it into the source directory if +found. To get the default config.h from the source, do something like +this: + +tar xfO st-0.8.4.tar.gz --wildcards '*/config.def.h' > config.h + +...then edit it to your heart's content and copy it into the +SlackBuild directory. When the package is built, your config.h will be +used, and also included in /usr/doc/st-$VERSION for reference. + +Also, a lot of extra functionality for st is provided as patches, from +"https://st.suckless.org/patches/". To use these, download them and +place them in the patches/ directory in the SlackBuild's dir. Note +that not all provided patches will apply, since some are for old +versions of st and some are for post-release git. If you use patches, +the file /usr/doc/st-$VERSION/patches.txt will contain a list of them, +for reference. + +Note that this SlackBuild already includes a .desktop file and icon +for st, so you don't need the st-desktopentry patch. |
