just a quick bump that i have uploaded my latest slackware builds of gnucash to cardinal
it will still all the dependencies. and now can use libdbi (for database storage), and webkit (for rendering reports). such as it is, i have compiled these in with these builds.
enjoy and take care,

on the recent release of the 2.6.32 series kernel in the slackware-current branch, currently 2.6.32.3, it has posed a bit of a minor frustration on this Dell mini 9″ and its broadcom 4312
vbatts@mini:~$ lspci | grep Network
03:00.0 Network controller: Broadcom Corporation BCM4312 802.11b/g (rev 01)appearantly in the kernel headers, the definition of schedule() has moved around a little. Using the drivers downloaded from here (currently version 5.10.91.9.3), if you are getting an error like
vbatts@current:~/bcm1$ make KBUILD_NOPEDANTIC=1 make -C /lib/modules/`uname -r`/build M=`pwd` make[1]: Entering directory `/usr/src/linux-2.6.32.3' LD /home/vbatts/bcm1/built-in.o CC [M] /home/vbatts/bcm1/src/wl/sys/wl_linux.o /home/vbatts/bcm1/src/wl/sys/wl_linux.c: In function 'wl_free': /home/vbatts/bcm1/src/wl/sys/wl_linux.c:705: error: implicit declaration of function 'schedule' make[2]: *** [/home/vbatts/bcm1/src/wl/sys/wl_linux.o] Error 1 make[1]: *** [_module_/home/vbatts/bcm1] Error 2 make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/linux-2.6.32.3' make: *** [all] Error 2
then the following patch will just add include the needed headers to move you along in compiling your wl.ko module
cat ../hybrid_sta-2.3.32.patch | patch -p1
at which point you should be gravy to proceed as usual.

and do not forget to `unset ARCH` before compiling

so i just saw that hulu.com labs has recently published a desktop player for linux. using my rpm-slackpack script , i converted the fedora packages they have for download, into slackware tgz’s.
you can download the i386 and x86_64 from cardinal.lizella.net/~vbatts/
once you’ve downloaded and installed it, pending you have the flash-player-plugin installed from slackbuilds.org, or some other means, you will need to edit the file ~/.huludesktop, on the line “flash_location = (null)”, to the location of the flash library. For me, its as follows.
$ grep libflash /var/log/packages/flash-player-plugin-10.0_r32-x86_64-1_SBo usr/lib64/mozilla/plugins/libflashplayer.so
then you have a command `huludesktop`, and away you go!

sorry for the short post, but see http://cardinal.lizella.net/~vbatts/kde/kde4-packages/4.3.2/
