The SlackBuild script for SLiM (a graphical login manager) goes
through the compilation and package creation process just fine, but
theres a problem with the resulting binary: it links against both
libpng12 and libpng14 (Slackware 13.1 comes with both versions in the
same package) and just dies, throwing the following at
/var/log/slim.log:

libpng warning: Application was compiled with png.h from libpng-1.4.2
libpng warning: Application  is  running with png.c from libpng-1.2.43
libpng error: Incompatible libpng version in application and library

At first, I modified its Makefile to use libpng12 only, it worked but
I guess it'd break compatibility with previous Slackware versions...
So, I tried with libpng14 (using -I/usr/include/libpng and -lpng -
without any version suffix, libpng14 is the /default/ in 13.1) and
it's working as intended again:

I'm going to apply this, but after modifying it to use libpng14
(-lpng14) instead of libpng (-lpng) due to how libpng upstream
names stuff.  They have made it very clear that -lpng is not
supported by them due to the way they rename the frapping library
with every major version bump.

Also, I think it would be a good idea to include a logrotate entry for slim in the package. It's easy to forget it and suddenly find your /var dir over 2G in size... here's a sample file I found on Gentoo wiki:

File:  /etc/logrotate.d/slim

/var/log/slim.log {
  compress
  rotate 4
  size=1M
  notifempty
  missingok
  copytruncate
  noolddir
}
