[Slackbuilds-users] Easy typo

All,

I noticed in a SlackBuild I was working on that I misspelled SLKCFLAGS 
as SLCKFLAGS, as in

SLCKFLAGS= ...

so setting CFLAGS="$SLKCFLAGS" ...

wasn't doing anything.

My eye wanted to see "SLCK" as in "Slack" so it's an easy typo to make 
and not notice.

Out of curiosity, I ran
find /usr/sbo/repo  -name \*.SlackBuild -exec grep SLCK \{\} \; -print

and similar issues turned  up  in

./office/qpdfview/qpdfview.SlackBuild ("SLCKCFLAGS=...")
./office/cups-pdf/cups-pdf.SlackBuild ("gcc $SLCKFLAGS...")
./development/regina-rexx/regina-rexx.SlackBuild (in a comment)
./development/sqlitebrowser/sqlitebrowser.SlackBuild ("SLCKCFLAGS=...")

... and maybe there are others. I wonder if  this wouldn't be a good 
thing to append as a test in sbopkglint  ... if the SlackBuild sets any 
variables
named SLCK... could be worth a closer look.

Just a thought!

respectfully,

Judah
