I use Slackware 15.0 as my operating system, and I'm trying to compile DVDStyler, and yes, I have installed all of the required dependencies,and I end up with the following output
I DID use version 3.2.1, and the other real question is: Where do I find information on how to use SBo in the way it was designed and validated?
And if you go to Slackbuilds,org, you will see that the version that they provide is - 3.1.2, NOT 3.2.1

Then to install things it's easier to run sbopkg in cli mode.
Run "sqg -p dvdstyler" to build the dependencies list then run "sbopkg -Rki dvdstyler" to build it (choose queuefile).
After every new sync with the repository (every one week or two), I always run "sqg -a -j2" to build all queues.
(the new sqg is super fast )
Of course you can try to use the slackbuilds provided by SBo to build more recent versions of the respective package (this is also mentioned in the HowTos). This might work in most cases but it is not guaranteed to work. And you have to keep in mind, that a newer version of a specific package might also need newer versions of the dependencies too. The versions provided by SBo are correct only for the original package at SBo. So again you might have to modify the respective slackbuilds.
Just tried it. The latest beta (DVDStyler-3.3b1) builds without a patch.
does it still need a newer wxGTK3 (I haven't tried it myself) than the stable 3.0.x version?
in that case an upgrade on SBo where the stable wxGTK3 is used as a dependency for many other things is still a no no (IMHO)...
Unfortunately yes. Since in version 2.0 transparency for highlighted colors was introduced, an unstable version of wxGTK3 is still needed. Therefore I too think that an official upgrade in SBo should wait.

Rep:
Seems as if dvstyler is put on hold, nothing have happened since the 3.3b1 beta was released in December. As joghi wrote, it builds without a patch and starts OK but I can't get it to work - segfaults when trying to create an iso file. I then reported that to https://sourceforge.net/p/dvdstyler/bugs/ but nothing's happened so far.
I agree with ponce that it's a nuisance that the devs insists on an unstable wxGTK3 version. I've noticed that wxWidgets-3.2.0 (stable) was released a few weeks ago. Haven't managed to build it using the .gz file (complaints about missing 3rd party stuff that for some reason isn't included) but will try building from git repo.
EDIT: the missing 3rd party files are included in wxWidgets-3.2.0.tar.bz2 (although missing in the .gz file) so no need to clone the git repo. Build in progress.
Hm, just tried it here under 15.0 and I had no problems generating an iso image with dvdstyler 3.3b1. But nowadays I only use dvdstyler to generate the dvd directory structure. For creating the iso images I use pgcedit. This has the advantage that it creates correct layer breaks for double layer discs, which is necessary for some (older?) DVD player hardware.
