XLibre on stable Slackware 15.0

When Xlibre was "first public" i tried compiling and running on the 15.0 but i think that's not possible for now right?

Yes, it's quite possible with this build tree.

1. Upgrade libdrm by grabbing all in https://mirrors.slackware.com/slackware/slackware-current/source/x/libdrm/ and running libdrm.Slackbuild. You will find a libdrm package in /tmp to install. Otherwise you will run into Fix xserver build if no recent libdrm found xserver#481 issue.

2. Run x11libre.Slackbuild without parameters to upgrade ALL.

I have done it with an old Slackware-current dated November 2021, practically it is Slackware-15.0 stable, and it works.

Please let us know about Your experience with this.

In the meantime, things improve, see ONykyf/X11Libre-SlackBuild#4

Following up on this, I've managed to use Github Actions to basically have automated package building and yes. It is perfectly possible to run XLibre on Slackware 15 with some extra instructions as described in the README

We do not know when the next version of Slackware will be released so being able to use XLibre on Slackware 15 is a huge plus!
