I did this on three different systems, all with different hardware.
I started Trinity and accepted all defaults for a fresh profile. I
then exited Trinity and rebooted each machine.
I logged in (command line), flushed the kernel cache, ran free,
started Trinity, opened konsole, flushed the kernel cache, and ran
free.
The default memory Trinity footprints, which excludes the memory
usage before starting Trinity and includes the native video drivers:
* 111184 KB
* 119536 KB
* 134876 KB
Notes: I did not disable apps autostarted from
$HOME/.config/autostart or disable the native video drivers. Thus
the first two results on old hardware are closest to the actual
default Trinity R14 footprint.

I downloaded the LO sources and walked through the patch stored in
'thirdparty'. As far as I can tell, the patch no longer is needed.
Am I correct?
Seems all that is needed is --enable-tde and as a precaution, in
the build script ensure $TDEDIR, $QTDIR, $QTINC, and $QTLIB are
exported to the build environment. Am I correct?
There also is a --enable-tdeab option to ensure Trinity addressbook
support, but I did not look into that deeply. The option might be
enabled by default when --enable-tde is enabled.
For a reference point, how long does LO take to compile on your
systems?

No idea. I don not recall ever seeing that particular dialog. :(

I downloaded the Ubuntu 12.04 from
http://ftp.fau.de/trinity/cdimages/kubuntu/precise/tde-3.5.13.2-ubuntu-12.0…
It loads up and runs perfectly. The ubuntu installer refuses to work.
I try to run it and it acts like it will and then it stops. Running
from the command line is the same with no errors.
Any suggestions.

Also, what environment variables are needed? From what I have found
onthe web, KDE4 dialog support needs the following:
export KDE4DIR="$KDEDIRS"
export QT4INC="$QT4DIR/include"
export QT4LIB="$QT4DIR/lib${LIBDIRSUFFIX}"
Do we need something similar? Would LO be looking for "KDE3"
environment variables or "Trinity" variables?
export KDEDIR="$KDEDIR"
export QTINC="$QTDIR/include"
export QTLIB="$QTDIR/lib${LIBDIRSUFFIX}"
OR
export TDEDIR="$TDEDIR"
export TQTINC="$TQTDIR/include"
export TQTLIB="$TQTDIR/lib${LIBDIRSUFFIX}"

Huh. I learn something new every day....

I understand your feelings. :)
A goal of a press release is to offer a positive spin and focus on
the announced product rather than what other products lack. We want
to refrain from KDE bashing. If you browse the dev mail list
archives from a while ago, you'll discover that a couple of KDE
devs invited themselves into our mail list and started a nasty
spitting contest. Got rather heated. Nobody won and one of the KDE
devs took to his blog to continue bashing Trinity. He stopped that
public campaign when a lot of people posted comments to his blog
entry to leave us the hell alone, that the free/libre software
philosophy allows and embraces forking. He was reminded that we
were not harming anybody. After those public rebuttals he stayed
away, but I have not forgotten him or his tirades.
I'm not afraid of bashing KDE4, especially the piece of shit known
as akonadi, or the obvious relentless fan-boyism that permeates the
entire KDE culture. Yet I'd rather we follow the advice of
Voltaire's Candide and just "tend our own garden."

Looks fine and thank you. Subject to final review by other team
members of course. :)
