1.79 has an extra library dependency compared with 1.77 - OpenAL is now used for sound. You might find it easiest just to use your system OpenAL library in this case - grab the libopenal-dev package (not sure exactly what it's called on Slackware, but it'll probably be something like that) and go from there.
