No Pidgin for Slackers

No Pidgin for Slackers

I think they call Slackware a broken install because Slackware lacks gnome and don't use Slackware for the same reason. The lack of gnome causes their missing dependencies. It should be easy to just list the required dependencies for non-gnome installs in a source tarballs' readme.

Could it be that they didn't search and find the makepkg command? Possibly pidgin developers are unable to use the console? That or pidgin developers are gnome fans that dislike the choice of slackware to drop the support for gnome.
