Here is the build script:
#!/bin/sh
#
# Using Slackware pkgtools 10.0 with LFS 6.0:
#
# jgrosshart@gmail.com
#
# NOTE: The only thing you need to edit in this script is the
# ARCH variable on line 93. Adjust it accordingly to whatever
# personal/global CFLAGS you might have defined.
#
# I decided to write this hint in script fashion. If your interested
# in using pkgtools, you're probably already familiar with Slackware
# scripts. If you don't want to simpily 'sh' this script, extrapolating
# the necessary commands is easy enough.
#
# I got pkgtools up and running after 'Chapter 6.8 Populating /dev'.
# I wanted every single package on my system to be documented under
# the pkgtool list. It's probably worth mentioning right now that
# after I removed the /tools directory, pkgtools broke on me. The
# tar-1.13 binary will not work. The dialogrc file also isn't read from
# the get-go. I've had someone else mention that this happened to them
# as well. The only thing I can think of, is to install pkgtools after
# '6.12 Re-adjusting the Toolchain'. If you can come up with a diffinitive
# solution, please let me know and I'll update this hint. As it stands now,
# at the end of the LFS book, after you have removed the /tools directory,
# you'll have to re-build pkgtools. That will fix everything and pkgtools
# will work as expected.
# So, for all of Chapter 6, I used the command of
# "make install DESTDIR=/tmp/package", "cd /tmp/package",
# "makepkg packagename.tgz" and finally, an "installpkg packagename.tgz"
# for every package. Very time consuming but well worth the effort. :-)
# You'll also want to strip the libs/binaries and compress the man pages
# before you make the package. Thats covered later in this hint/script.
#
# VERY few packages won't conform to the DESTDIR switch but can be dealt
# with one way or another. eg - "make install prefix=/tmp/packagename",
# or edit the makefile. As a last resort, for the 2 or 3 packages that flat
# out refuse to install elsewhere, do a pre-run with
# "./configure --prefix=/tmp; make; make install". Look in /tmp
# and see what files it installed. Then do a "make clean" and install
# normally. Then hand move everything to a build directory. You can also
# just 'cat' directly out of the source tree. Make sure everything gets
# placed where it should be with the proper permissions. It may sound like
# a pain, but there are only 2-3 packages at most that do this for the
# entire LFS book. There is also the option of 'checkinstall' but I tend
# not to trust packages made by this program because of past expierences.
# First, you have to download all of the following items into $CWD.
# $CWD is the Current Working Directory, or the directory that this
# script will reside in. As per the books instructions, We'll have $CWD as
# /sources/pkgtool. So, make the directory /sources/pkgtool and download
# all of the below into it, including this script.

And here is the patch:
Submitted By: Jon Grosshart (jgrosshart@gmail.com)
Date: 2005-03-11
Initial Package Version: 10.0
Upstream Status: Not submitted - Hack
Origin: Jon Grosshart
Description: Makes changes to Slackware's pkgtools that are mostly
cosmetic in nature. Also makes pkgtool use the file
'desc' instead of 'slack-desc'. This patch is designed
to be used in conjunction with submitted hint.
