CUDA support is included if a CUDA installation is detected at build time.
It may be disable by passing CUDA=no when building e.g.
CUDA=no sh ./Blender.SlackBuild
+Since Blender-2.83.0, SBo's cudatoolkit-8.0.61 is insufficient for a
+successful build. The CUDA handling above remains for cases which may:
+ - use a newer CUDA version toolkit
+ - require the existing cudatoolkit for other purposes
+ (so need CUDA=no for Blender)
+
+Support for embree may be disabled by passing EMBREE=no when building e.g.
+ EMBREE=no sh ./Blender.SlackBuild
+
+Support in 14.2 for using SBo's ffmpeg4 SlackBuild may be enabled by
+passing FORCE_FFMPEG4=yes when building e.g.
+ FORCE_FFMPEG4=yes sh ./Blender.SlackBuild
+
+Version 2.83.8 is the last SBo supported version of Blender for building
+from source code in Slackware64-14.2. A more recent compiler (gcc-9.3.1)
+is required for 2.90.x and later blender versions.
