>Hmmm.. That's what I was doing... Here is the build order I use: Perform the following on my build script collection: grep build_package TDE.SlackBuild You find my build order and whether I use automake or cmake. If you browse TDE.SlackBuild you'll find comments about building certain packages before other packages. Also perform the following in my unarchived build environment: find . -maxdepth 3 -name "*.SlackBuild" -exec grep -l "AUTOTOOLS=" {} \; This will reveal which packages can use either automake or cmake. When the line AUTOTOOLS=true is commented out then the script uses cmake. When not commented out then I still use automake. There are some partical conversions to cmake. Those respective build scripts I have configured to test either cmake or automake as new cmake patches come forth. I use the AUTOTOOLS=true line to determine which to use. When new patches come forth I uncomment the line and test cmake. BTW, as Slavek mentioned, in my TDE.SlackBuild you'll notice I have the following comment: # Build tdegames after tdemultimedia.
