In addition to the regular development tool programs in /opt/trinity/bin, I also see numerous tq* programs in /usr/bin, which are installed from the Trinity repository. What are these for? Which should be used for application development?
TIA, Leslie

As far as I know (based on my experience) you don't have to care about that, because the build scripts know already where to look for what. Also asuming you have installed default TDE the environment is set correctly etc.
From what I remeber under /usr/bin is the tools needed to build the one in /opt/trinity. same as libtqt which has includesin /usr/include/tqt
Of course someone like Slavek or Michele can give more detailed information or point to a documentation source.

/usr/bin/tq* are dev tools for TQt3. They are installed if you have installed tqt3-devs-* packages. Cheers Michele

'The environment' meaning environment variables? AFAIK, on the OpenSuSE platform, none of the Trinity-associated environment variables are ever set.

TQt3 as opposed to what? There seem to be two different development environments active, but I can't find anything e.g. in the Wiki to differentiate them or state which is used for what.

tqt3 is to TDE as Qt is to KDE - a foundation. tqt3 is also a compatibility layer designed to make it easier for TDE to work with each new version of Qt that comes down the 'pike.
kdevelop for KDE, tdevelop-trinity for TDE, tqt3-designer for tqt3, and qtcreator for Qt are all different development environments roughly equivalent to Microsoft Virtual Studio. Each development environment (aka IDE) can be used to develop for a variety of application frameworks and with a variety of programming languages.
Personally I prefer qtcreator for developing C++ applications even though my applications don't use Qt.
