I know this is more of a general linux question but how would I go about installing an application such as code::blocks on a slackware based operating system (Vector Linux). Are applications referred to as packages? Or are packages specific to Vector linux?
No flamming please ;)
Slackware doesn't really have a very good package system (at least it didn't last time I used it). Software comes in just a regular compressed tarred-gziped filed (.tar.gz or .tgz) and you install it by doing "installpkg <filename>" as root.
Your alternative would be to download the sourcecode (and any dependencies) and build it yourself.
Sorry I'm not much help!
