Girvin-
Slackware was my distro of choice until I had to start using a work 
computer, so I actually know how to build a Slackware package. But pcb 
isn't part of the Slackware distribution. You can get an older version 
of pcb from sbopkg. I think I still have script lying around to build a 
package from the latest git version if you'd like a copy.

Chad,
I have been using Slackware for decades.  I finally ditched dual-booting 
windows about 2004-ish.  I have not regretted it. There is nothing I 
want to do on windows that I can't do on Linux.

Yes, pcb/gEDA is not distributed with Slackware.  I just checked and 
both are on SlackBuilds.org (SBo)  https://slackbuilds.org/ .  They have 
pcb 20110918  and Geda-gaf 1.8.2 available.  It must be active, since 
they have modified the buildscripts for the latest Slack 14.2, which 
just came out this past Summer.  I use SBo to get most of my Slack 
packages.  I have my own buildscript boilerplate which I modify, 
sometimes with data and processes from the SBo SlackBuild script.  My 
SlackBuild script has extensions to protect my system, which I learned 
the hard way.  For instance, my script allows optional user-space build, 
which shows up ill-behaved builds that do unexpected things in 
root-space, such as modify a root file or change permissions.  I once 
had a package that changed all /usr permissions to 700 (root-only) 
access.  That brought my system down and took a long time to recover!  
So, I always do a user build before I do the final root build.  My 
script also does a check on the package (md5, sha, asc, etc.) to be sure 
it is clean.  My buildscript is a lot larger than the usual Slack 
buildscripts, but it does a lot more and is safer.  Memory and disk 
drives are cheap.  Time is not.

Thanks and take care.
Girvin
