it could mean also that you:
1) create a virtual machine (with whatever hypervisor you prefer, but
this is not the main scope of this answer so I won't elaborate on
this);
2) install a full slackware64-14.2 and NOTHING ELSE;
3) update it to the latest patches;
4) shut it down;
5) copy the virtual machine file somewhere (or do a snapshot or
whatever the hypervisor you use for your virtual machine allows, but
this is not the main scope of this answer so I won't elaborate on
this);
6) turn it on again;
7) build the package you need on the virtual machine and copy it where
you need it;
8) turn it off again;
9) restore the virtual machine from the copy you have done.
10) start again from point 6) as needed.
This way you will always have a "pure" platform to build your packages.
In alternative to points 7 to 10 you can also install slackrepo in the
virtual machine and use that (but this is not the main scope of this
answer so I won't elaborate on this).
good luck!
