I decided to go for installing everything to /usr as
this
will be for a custom stripped slackware distro with only
lxde and Trinity. I also went with qt3. Everything
compiled nicely for me. Arts seems to be happy in this setup
now ... at least i will take the final output from building
arts to be an indication of success:
Yes, just for those who watch the list, installing to /usr is fine as long as KDE4 is not
installed to /usr.
There are a few Slackers here. Welcome!
For myself, although I don't use KDE4, I limit my Slackware builds to /opt/trinity
because my packages are used by other people. As the stock Slackware comes with KDE4, I
have to accommodate that. I also test and watch for potential conflicts with KDE4. When
R14 is released, I likely will build a special set of packages for myself to install to
/usr.
As you are a Slackware user, I welcome any help you can offer the Trinity project. We need
more exhaustive testing. Install to /usr for yourself, but if you have the time and spare
CPU cycles, please help to build GIT in various scenarios to find any breakage. Finding
that breakage now will mean no breakage when R14 is released.
In addition to testing various build scenarios, we need better testing to ensure no
conflicts with KDE4.
tqt3 will be the future and eventually will replace qt3. I build with both right now for
testing purposes.
As you mention Trinity and LXDE in the same sentence, I presume you are interested in
light weight desktop environments. I am interested in any information you might have that
will help create a "Trinity Light" for older hardware. The idea of Trinity Light
is not so much a separate or unique build of Trinity, although that could happen, but
includes any ideas to customize Trinity for older hardware. Once upon a time I addressed
the topic with KDE 3 (
http://humanreadable.nfshost.com/howtos/optimizing_kde.htm), but
I'd like to see a wiki article with various tips and ideas to get Trinity to run on
old hardware, which should include build options. People running old hardware are unlikely
to need every option built into Trinity and any related information we accumulate about
these topics will help.
