Hi Brandt and All,
Slint and Slackware packages are made with the command makepkg:
man makepkg
Generally this command is run inside a shell script called a SlackBuild.
Probably the best thing to do would be to contribute a SlackBuild for
cawbird to
https://slackbuilds.org
Instructions to do so are here:
https://slackbuilds.org/guidelines/
This per se is not enough to include the package:
- in Slackware proper as only Patrick Volkerding includes packages in
Slackware
(and he is generally reluctant to add new ones that he would then have to
maintain)
- in a package repository provided or at least supported by
https://slackbuilds.org as there is none, per their policy, see items #19
and
#20 in their FAQ:
https://slackbuilds.org/faq/
For Slint, it depends. Generally I prefer that users build and install the
extra
packages using a SlackBuild available @ https://slackbuilds.org/, using
the
command line utility slapt-src or its GUI front-end sourcery but
exceptions can
be made on a case-by-case basis.
As an aside George Vlahavas aka gapan, maintainer of Salix has begun to
feed
pre-built packages for Salix-15.0 in this repository:
https://slackware.uk/salix/x86_64/extra-15.0/
They are built using SlackBuilds from https://slackbuilds.org/
Technically theses packages will be install-able in Slint-15.0 using
slapt-get
or its GUI front-end gslapt, if /etc/slapt-get/slapt-getrc is edited to
include
this repository. I will consult with George to check the possible caveats.
In that case and if a cawbird SlackBuild is available in slackbuikds.org
and if
George includes cawbird in this repository, you could install cawbird in
Slint
with slapt-get.
As we say here:

Hi all,could build
I was asked by the developers of the Twitter client Cawbird how they
their software for Slackware and by extention Slint.Windows
I, as many of you know, am not a developer, just a user who got tired of
and Microsoft's machinations, thus I really don't know how to help thedev.
really
If someone could send me a link to the relevant documentation, I would
appreciate it.developers
Also, once the software has been built for Slackware, how would the
get it in the repo?
