15.0 > Libraries > skalibs (2.15.1.0)

skalibs is a package centralizing the free software / open source C
development files used for building all software at skarnet.org: it
contains essentially general-purpose libraries. You will need to install
skalibs if you plan to build skarnet.org software. The point is that you
won't have to download and compile big libraries, and care about
portability issues, everytime you need to build a package: do it only
once.

skalibs can also be used as a sound basic start for C development.
There are a lot of general-purpose libraries out there; but if your main
goal is to produce small and secure C code with a focus on system
programming, skalibs might be for you.

NOTE:
The execvep() function from skalibs (used by all skarnet.org software)
has a default executable search path that will be used if the PATH
environment variable is undefined. The upstream default is
/usr/bin:/bin, but the script defaults to /usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin,
where most system-installed binaries on Slackware reside. Pass
DEF_PATH=some:path:list to the script if you want to change it, e.g.,

    DEF_PATH=/bin:/sbin ./skalibs.SlackBuild
