Is this
possible?
I'm not asking for support. I only want to know whether
Trinity will
build on older distros. Has anything been done to
Trinity that
prevents building on older distros? That is, KDE
3.5.10
goes quite a
few years back and could still be built today
with
older distros, but
will Trinity build?
François Andriot has
already built Trinity 3.5.13 on RHEL5,
which age is
approximately the same as Slackware 11.0. The KDE e.V.
publishes a list
of requirements of KDE 3.5 here:
http://www.kde.org/info/requirements/3.5.php
so it may actually build, with some features disabled, with
much older
Slackware versions (Slackware 8.1 is the first one to
provide
simultaneously GCC 2.95, zlib 1.1 and libpng 1.2 by
default).
Obviously some new packages will be needed (at least CMake
2.8).
