TQt - the brains behind Trinity, using Qt3 and (soon) Qt4 to render our Desktop Environment. If any app wanted to, they could start using TQt and then not worry about Qt3 -> Qt4 -> Qt5 changes.
Interresting. How do one start TQt?
You don't need to start it. The application will automatically call TQt to render its interface. It's been doing that for most 3.5.12 applications...
You have to run a separate script to launch Trinity apps? I have never had to.
Well, at the moment I run Ubuntu Maverick Meerkat with Trinity installed _but_ a Gnome/AWN Desktop (actually I recently moved to Ubuntu because Mepis was going KDE 4, and I at first did not trust "K"ubuntu, then for the moment stayed there) I do have a test install of Debian lenny + Trinity, but Debian tends to be a little old in stable.
So, if I try to start a KDE3 (sorry, Trinity :) app I get "the program is not installed". Following some info I start my apps with scripts like:
#!/bin/bash PATH=/opt/kde3/bin:/opt/kde3/games:/opt/kde3/bin:$PATH KDEDIRS=/usr/:/opt/kde3/ KDEHOME=$HOME/.kde3 XDG_DATA_DIRS=/opt/kde3/share/:/usr/share/ MANPATH=/opt/kde3/share/man kalzium
I imagine I should be able to setup these paths somewhere, but did not have time to look where until now.
Try throwing all these paths into your ~/.bashrc for now. I know that the variables are supposed to be set, so I'd have to look into it more.
As I like Mepis better than Ubuntu, I do hope that Trinity will developp to a stage where Warren decides to use it (as he wisely did not take up KDE 4 for a long time).
More support is always nice :)
