+SpatiaLite is an open source library intended to extend the SQLite core
+to support fully fledged Spatial SQL capabilities. SpatiaLite is smoothly
+integrated into SQLite to provide a complete and powerful Spatial DBMS
+(mostly OGC-SFS compliant). Using SQLite + SpatiaLite you can effectively
+deploy an alternative open source Spatial DBMS roughly equivalent to
+PostgreSQL + PostGIS.
+
+Required dependency:
+ * SQLite 3 (http://www.sqlite.org)
+
+Recommended dependensies (enabled by default):
+ * Proj.4 (http://trac.osgeo.org/proj/), available at SlackBuilds.org
+ * GEOS (http://trac.osgeo.org/geos/), available at SlackBuilds.org
+
+Optional dependency (enabled by default):
+ * FreeXL (https://www.gaia-gis.it/FreeXL/)
+
+If you don't want to build SpatiaLite with FreeXL support specify FREEXL=no
+to SlackBuild, for example
+
+ FREEXL=no sh libspatialite.SlackBuild
