For the past two days I have built the full main suite
and a dozen additional packages from each day's latest GIT.
I built against Qt3 and not TQt3. Regarding TQt3, Tim is
working on some bugs some of us are experiencing when
building against TQt3.
Note: tdebindings will not build against Qt3 and hasn't
built against Qt3 for
a long time. Only TQt3.
So you suggest TQt3 only as a base for building TDE?
What difference does it
make for the desktop? All styles, themes, functionality
still the same when
based on TQt3?
I wasn't recommending anything, only sharing my recent experience. :)
Currently building against TQt3 is broken. Tim will post when he has that
fixed. Until then use Qt3. :)
Tim will have to explain the difference between TQt3 and Qt3. I don't know
whether the latter will be dropped eventually. However, as tdebindings
will not build against Qt3 and Tim has stated he will not fix the problem,
that means tdebindings will build only against TQt3 (when fixed). That
more or less makes Qt3 obsolete for anybody wanting to build tdebindings.
Clear as mud, right? :)

TQt3 allows the TDE developers to use Qt4 libraries within TDE
applications, e.g. Webkit. Qt3 does not allow this due to C++ namespace
conflicts (technically it is a problem with both the compiler and linker
caused by two different definitions of common classes such as QObject, but
the previous description gets the point across in a succinct manner).
I strongly recommend using tqt3 if posssible, but am keeping qt3
compatibility via tqtinterface for everything except the language bindings
modules (tdebindings, python-tqt, etc.).
Does this help?
