[Slackbuilds-users] perl-gtk2 fails at make test

[Petar Petrov]

Quoting David Spencer <baildon.research at googlemail.com>:

> Well I have built perl-gtk2 on multiple systems with 13.37, 13.1 and

that's what i did... but since i submitted a SlackBuild that depends  
on perl-gtk2 (clamtk) I just wanted to point it out. I did not write  
about this earlier as i had perl-gtk2 already installed when making  
this SLackBuild and had just forgotten about it...
