[Slackbuilds-users] Fwd: gnome-terminal SlackBuild

[Pablo Romano]

Hi Bob,

I'm sending you by email the SlackBuild I have prepared.

This version:

 1.

    Does not require gnome-shell or nautilus to be installed, while
    still keeping both as optional dependencies.

 2.

    Conforms to the new SBo templates published on October 6.

 3.

    Also builds successfully on Slackware-current, whereas the current
    SlackBuild does not.

Thanks.
