All,
Has anybody been building LibreOffice packages with Trinity dialog support?
We mention this support in our draft R14 press release.
Despite knowing that compiling LO takes several hours, I would like to test Trinity dialogs. I suspect that anybody wanting Trinity dialog support is more or less left on their own to build LO. I doubt anybody upstream provides that support.
Yet I lack information how to proceed and I have not found any written instructions.
Is the 'thirdparty' patch in the git repo current? I ask because of this blog article about KDE4 integration:
http://dilfridge.blogspot.nl/2013/12/libreoffice-kde- integration.html
The author implies that external dialog support has suffered bit rot. I have no idea whether than includes Trinity or just KDE4.
What LO build script options are needed? Is something like one of the following needed:
--enable-kde --enable-kde3 --enable-qt --enable-qt3 --enable-tqt
I never built LO from source therefore don't know what configuration options are available or recognized.
If we are going to announce LO dialog support then should a handful of us should test this support?

Some time ago I tested LibreOffice with TDE integration as available in LibreOffice-tde PPA on the build-farm.
I tested version 4.0.3-14 on Debian Wheezy i386 and was very unuseable. On the File/Open nothing happened. On the File/Save as occurred freezing LibreOffice. I was forced to upgrade to LibreOffice from wheezy-backports (4.1.2-2~bpo70+1 without TDE integration).
Then I tested version 4.0.2-0ubuntu4 on Ubuntu Saucy amd64 and there everything worked smoothly.

Note: Today I tried on another machine LibreOffice-TDE in Debian Wheezy (i386) and time I did not notice any problems.

FYI: I tested last Thursday LibreOffice-TDE on the machine where I had when first testing fundamental problems. And now I have no problems. I do not know what caused the problem in the first test.
