Thanks to both of you, Michele and Slávek!
And which C(++)-standard is used? As far as I know you can set the standard with CPPFLAGS/CXXFLAGS when you add a parameter. In the file acinclude.m4.in I found the line "CXXFLAGS="-ansi [...]" and I read that sometimes the standard C89 is also called ANSI C, but I couldn't find out what the parameter -ansi stands for in the CXXFLAGS.
Can you help me to bring light into the darkness? I would also be grateful, if you had articles or the like, so I could read about it.
I can share my experience when I started contributing to the project. I must admit it was also very dark where I was standing.
1. Lets start with the target distribution. I use debian (stable). Your approach should be also based on the target distro. 2. Ressources: https://www.trinitydesktop.org/development.php You can also check the WIKI https://wiki.trinitydesktop.org/How_to_Build_TDE_Core_Modules https://wiki.trinitydesktop.org/Category:Developers
3. Clone the repository and setup the build environment a. https://wiki.trinitydesktop.org/Project_GIT_Information#Using_GIT b. depends on the distribution. I use kind of frankenstein I used some ideas from the "buildscripts", but did not want to use all I wrote my own set of Makefiles 4. After building the packages, you need to manage them. I used a howto called "SimpleDebianRepository". This way I can build and install on all the PCs and VMs I control in the local network or via VPN.
I hope it helps
