CUSTOMIZATION ------------- Place patches in patches/. Any files in this directory will be applied before the build. If you wish to make changes to the default keybindings or other settings, produce a patch against config.h. config.h is a copy of config.def.h distributed with the source tarball. Place any patches in the patches/ directory before starting the SlackBuild script. Example: # tar xvf tabbed-0.6.tar.gz # cd tabbed-0.6 # cp config.def.h config.h # vi config.h [make customizations] # diff -u config.def.h config.h > ../patches/config.patch # cd .. # sh tabbed.SlackBuild Also, there are various patches available on the suckless.org site that have been contributed by tabbed users. These can be downloaded into patches/ and will be applied in the same way. Contributed patches: http://tools.suckless.org/tabbed/patches/ Anything in patches/ must be usable with either the -p0 or -p1 option to patch. They'll be applied in lexical order (same order as the ls command lists them in), so you might have to do some renaming if one patch depends on another. If all you want to customize is the default window width/height, no need for a patch: just set WIDTH and HEIGHT in the script's environment.
