I am compiling kde-3.5.12 in a slackware 13 environment with no previous
KDE. I have installed everything with --prefix=/usr including qt3,
tqtinterface, arts & kdelibs
After patching qt3 i have compiled tqtinterface, arts and kdelibs without
error however compiling kdebase gives multiple errors.
The file index.cache.bz2 is missing for all folders in doc. Instead of just
creating the file (touch index.cache.bz2) i removed all directories in
kdebase/doc (won't need them anyway) and that got me through.
The next error was
shutdowndlg.cpp:83:39: error: cannot call constructor 'QImage::QImage'
directly
shutdowndlg.cpp:83:39: error: for a function-style cast, remove the
redundant '::QImage'
Removing the ::QImage from the function allowed compilation to continue.
krandrbindings.cpp:31:2: error: cannot call constructor
'KShortcut::KShortcut' directly
krandrbindings.cpp:31:2: error: for a function-style cast, remove the
redundant '::KShortcut'
Again removing the direct call allowed me to continue. The next one is where
i am stuck and not sure how to proceed.
iccconfig.cpp:148:6: warning: unused variable 'i'
iccconfig.cpp:149:12: warning: unused variable 'iccFileArrayNew'
I tried removing the unused variables but i get a slew of these errors with
the randr section.
So far i have downgraded make, autoconf and automake to slack 12.2 versions
and they have worked ok up until now. I am also not using the -j switch
during compilation depsite using quad core processor.
Can anyone advise what i may be missing or what i have done wrong?
Kind Regards,
Jay
Since my wife prefers kde3 to kde4, I have kept lenny on her machine.
Fortunately, with the upgrade to squeeze imminent, I found trinity.
The install in lenny was smooth, but then I changed my apt.conf to
point to testing and changed the trinity.list to point to , and if I
do an apt-get dist-upgrade, it wants to deinstall all of trinity.
aptitude full-upgrade spits out pages and pages of dependency
problems, things which I would think would be upgraded in a dist- (or
full-) upgrade.
What is the proper path to upgrading a Debian box with trinity
installed? I would like to get at least to testing, but would really
prefer getting to sid, if trinity from squeeze will run there.
Thanks,

I am compiling in slackware 13.1 with no KDE.
I have compiled the following successfully:
qt-3.3.b
qca-1
qca-tls
poppler
dbus-qt3
dbus-python
tqtinterface-3.5.12 compiles without error. Compiling arts-3.5.12 stops at a
'not found' error for uic-tqt
I linked uic-tqt to uic and it now stops at:
/opt/kde3/lib/qt3/bin/moc ./qiomanager_p.h qiomanager_p.moc
Qt meta object compiler
moc: Too many input files specified
I also saw it looking for moc-tqt which was not found. I thought moc-tqt was
for qt4.
How can i get passed the above error?

Tim, all,
As expressed in my email to Tim, my goal is to build trinity (from svn) for
Arch Linux to replace the old Chakra project kdemod3. (which is no longer
supported or available) I'm very proficient in Linux, but I SUCK with cmake. It
might as well be Greek. I've been through:
http://trinity.pearsoncomputing.net/wiki/bin/view/Developers/HowToBuild
and I've stumbled across the linuxquestions.org thread stating you must remove
all existing kde3 installs before building trinity. (Tim this seems to answer my
question whether I can do a parallel install of trinity in /opt/trinity and keep
my existing /opt/kde) So do I really have to nuke my existing kde3 install prior
to building trinity? (assuming yes from the following link)
http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/slackware-14/trinity-kde-3-5-12-a-8…
This is where I hit my first roadblock.
(Issue #1) Arch Linux provides python2-sip and pyqt3, but not pykde. I've
downloaded and written an Arch PKGBUILD script to build the PyKDE-3.16.7 package
for Arch. (see: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?pid=881478#p881478)
However building pykde requires dcopobject.h. Trinity provides:
trinity/kdebindings/dcopc/dcopobject.h
trinity/kdelibs/dcop/dcopobject.h
(of which the kdelibs dcopobject.h looks correct) However, to build pykde, I
have to provide reference to the installed kde3 base (-k /opt/kde) to get it to
build:
python2 configure.py \
-d /usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages \
-v /usr/share/sip -k /opt/kde
which builds fine, but the linuxquestion.org thread says if you build against
the existing 3.5.10 dcopobject.h you will have build failures later on. So
what's the trick to get pykde to compile using the dcopobject.h from svn?
(Issue #2) How in the heck to I choose QT3 to get tqtinterface to build? I know
this is a simple switch issue or environment issue, but I've googled and have
just managed to broaden my confusion. This is my cmake shortcoming. When I
attempt the build, I get:
11:49 archangel:/tmp/dependencies/tqtinterface> cmake ./
CMake Error at cmake/modules/TDEMacros.cmake:20 (message):
#################################################
You must select a Qt version
#################################################
Call Stack (most recent call first):
CMakeLists.txt:46 (tde_message_fatal)
-- Configuring incomplete, errors occurred!
The error is obvious, I need to tell it which Qt version to use, but obviously
I'm too stupid to figure out where or how. Can somebody help a brother out here
and help lift the veil of confusion I'm suffering from here?
Also, I've started a build script to automate the trinity build after I get the
dependencies built. Basically to automate the libtool.m4.in, ltmain.sh and make
-f setup and then provide correct ./configure options that --enable-closure when
required based on the module name. The the plan is simply to build trinity in
the order specified in the HowToBuild from a static list or array. Before I
reinvent the wheel, does anything like this exist? Also, the wiki is a bit
sparse. If anyone has more detailed notes squirreled away on the build process
or how to setup a better build environment/chroot/whatever, if you will make
that information available, I'll commit to adding it to the wiki (with proper
attribution of course)
For anyone interested, I have started the build script and have it functional up
to the point of adding the ordered list to build each module. (currently it is
just a concept that outputs what it will do without actually doing anything).
Basic use is:
sh bldtrinity.sh [ path/to/your/trinitysvn path/to/libtool.m4 path/to/ltmain.sh ]
my defaults [Arch locations]:
trindir=${1:-/home/david/arch/pkg/trinity}
syslibtool=${2:-/usr/share/aclocal/libtool.m4}
sysltmain=${3:-/usr/share/libtool/config/ltmain.sh}
The beginnings of the script are at:
http://www.3111skyline.com/dl/dt/trinity/scr/bldtrinity.sh
I welcome any suggestions or comments. Thanks. I look forward to this project.

Hi all!
My name is Bartlomiej i'm from PLD Linux distro.
I have problems with tqt compilation/instalation.
Here is log configure/compile log: http://pld.pastebin.com/ja58wz3c
Problem is because there is no tqt.so.x.y.z files only symlinks
[cactus@carme-pld qtinterface]$ ls -l .libs/libtqt.*
lrwxrwxrwx 1 cactus users 12 01-03 11:05 .libs/libtqt.la -> ../libtqt.la
-rw-r--r-- 1 cactus users 1515 01-03 11:05 .libs/libtqt.lai
lrwxrwxrwx 1 cactus users 15 01-03 11:05 .libs/libtqt.so -> libtqt.so.4.2.0
lrwxrwxrwx 1 cactus users 15 01-03 11:05 .libs/libtqt.so.4 -> libtqt.so.4.2.0
[cactus@carme-pld qtinterface]$
when building --with-static it produces libtqt.a archive.
any hint?
Best regards
Bartlomiej Zimon
KDE-Trinity 3.5.12 on Debian Squeeze, running the Trinity desktop.
In Gwenview, I can open and view .tiff files. If I rotate, or modify, the image
and try to save, I get a ( paraphrase) can not write tiff format error. Is this a
tiff support issue in KDE3 or something else?

Peace,

I am using Slackware 13.1 and wondering if anyone has had success compiling
trinity in this environment. I have used a chroot environment with no KDE
installed at all and also a stripped Slackware (slax) with no KDE and qt3.
If using the svn and build scripts i get 'no uic-tqt' errors all the time
and nothing gets compiled. If compiling manually i get as far as compiling
tqtinterface, arts & kdelibs. I am having no luck compiling kdebase though.
So my question is if anyone has had success compiling under slackware 13+
please let me know the best way to compile.
All,
The Trinity Desktop Environment development team is attempting to find out
which distributions and version Trinity is currently installed and used
on, so that we may focus our efforts on improving compatibility with those
distributions.
We politely ask that you add your distribution to the informal poll on the
Wiki here:
http://trinity.pearsoncomputing.net/wiki/bin/view/Community/UsageSurvey2011
If your distribution is already listed, please increment the number of
users for that distribution by one (1). If more than one individual in
your household is using that distribution, please increment the number of
users by the number of users in your household. Also, if you use more
than one distribution, please increment the number of users appropriately
for each distribution in use.
The results of this poll will also help the Trinity development team
decide which distributions are too old or little-used to be supported in
future Trinity release, so please cast your vote if you want to see your
distribution supported in the future.
Thank you,
Timothy Pearson
Trinity Desktop Environment Development Team
