Dependencies:
Build order presumed to be as listed (please
correct!):
tqt3 or qt3 (is there a reason to build the latter
rather than the former?)
tqtinterface (required)
arts (required)
Recommended, rather--there is a flag for building without
it, and everything
does work as far as I can tell.
dbus-1-tqt (required?)
dbus-tqt (required?)
One or both (I can't tell, because the packages aren't
handled quite the same
way for me) is required by ksmserver, as above.
libart-lgpl (required?/recommended?)
Dependency for kdelibs, ksvg, kdeartwork-kscreensaver,
possibly some others
I don't have installed. Unless there's some way of
building kdelibs without it,
I think we can call it "required".
libkdcraw (recommended? which packages?)
I'm not sure how many of these are KDE4 results, since I
don't have
the relevant packages installed and so am not sure of the
versioning,
but a query turned up calligra, krita, digikam, and
kphotoalbum as
depending on libkdcraw.
Updated:
Recommended build order for Trinity dependencies:
Required:
tqt3 (replaces Qt3; Qt3 without the tqtinterface layer is available but there is no
compelling reason to build the latter)
tqtinterface
arts
Recommended:
dbus-tqt (Required for some applications, such ksmserver in kdebase)
dbus-1-tqt (Required for some applications, such ksmserver in kdebase)
tqca-tls (Required for some applications, such as the Kopete OTR add-on)
libart-lgpl (Required by many applications, such as kdelibs, ksvg,
kdeartwork-kscreensaver)
avahi-tqt (Recommended but required when supporting DNS discovery services)
python-tqt
sip4-tqt (Required for building python related bindings for tdebindings)
tqscintilla
Libraries:
None are required but all provide additional functionality for a variety of packages.
These libraries must be built and installed before any packages using these libraries can
take advantage of the additional functionality.
libkipi: required by kipi-plugins
kipi-plugins: several high-end image viewers such as gwenview and digikam
libkdcraw: several image viewers and graphics apps, such as chalk and digikam
libkexiv2: several image viewers
libksquirrel: required by ksquirrel
libtqt-perl: adept add-on
mlt: not required or supported at this time
mlt++: not required or supported at this time
pytdeextensions: replacement for PyQt3 and PyKDE3, and used by apps such as tdebindings
and tde-guidance
python-trinity: replacement for PyQt3 and PyKDE3, and used by apps such as tdebindings and
tde-guidance
Notes:
Python-tqt, pytdeextensions, and python-trinity are direct replacements for PyQt3 and
PyKDE3. There no longer is any need to build PyQt3 or PyKDE3.
Sip is available on many/most distros. However, Sip requires Qt3 but won't build on
TQt3. More than likely down the road, Sip will be dumped or moved to Qt4 by distro
maintainers. All of the python-*-tqt-* packages need sip to build. Build this TQt3
compatible version of Sip and replace the stock Sip installed with the distro.
libart-lgpl no longer is maintained upstream and needs several patches to avoid crashing
some apps. The version of libarts provided by the Trinity Project includes those patches
and is intended to be a replacement for any version of libarts currently installed by any
distro. Build this patched version of libart and replace the stock libart installed with
the distro.
Regarding Third-party/LibreOffice: This folder contains patches that add TDE support to
the upstream LibreOffice sources. The patches allow LibreOffice to use Trinity dialog
boxes. The patches have not been merged into the upstream LibreOffice GIT tree, but they
work just fine as-is when applied to the stock LO sources. Obtaining the advantages of
these patches requires rebuilding LibreOffice from sources.
