IMO it's a good idea to update at least to 2.6.
Lower versions
definitely won't work...
I'm not sure about 2.8. It may be only a «soft» limit. On the
other hand I
don't suppose it will cause any problems... And nobody will test
for
compatibility with versions lower than 2.8... And nobody of users
would be
able to because tdelibs requres 2.8... so, go ahead =)
NOTE: I'm just successfully built tdebase and tdelibs with cmake
versions 2.8.0 and 2.8.3.
The oldest release of Slackware that I can build Trinity is 13.1.
In bug report 1741 I shared my attempts at building Trinity in
Slackware 12.2 and 13.0. Ignoring cmake, newer versions of several
upstream packages need to be backported to build Trinity in
Slackware 12.2 or 13.0. Trinity builds in Slackware 13.1 just fine.
Slackware 13.1 was released with cmake 2.8.1.
If we establish cmake 2.8 as a minimum requirement, we then ---
indirectly --- include other problematic upstream packages against
which Trinity would not build. That is, any distro that came with
cmake 2.8 likely did not include the older upstream packages that
would be problematic for building Trinity.
