High,
now I'm trying to build R13.2 on Slackware 14.1, trying to follow the instructions found at https://wiki.trinitydesktop.org/How_to_Build_TDE_Core_Modules
This doc leaves several questions open:
- It doesn't say which release this is about. In the "Suggested
Build Order" section it talks about tqt3, so I guess it's about R14 already, though R14 isn't (actually) released yet. And what if any- one is forced (or just likes) to install R13.2 or even older release anyway?
It was ported from the old wiki, so unless someone's changed it recently, it's for 13.X.
- It isn't clear about the build tool to use for the different
packages. When talking about the autoconf -> cmake migration, there should be some details of which package in which release is to be done with which build tool, or each package should have a quick note about this in the README or whatever...
"List of Packages Building with cmake" says " Build everything not in the list above with autotools." autoconf is part of autotools.
If you think that's unclear, can you suggest a better way to word it? (That's a sincere question, not an attempt to needle you. The more people understand the wiki, the more of them will have a good experience with Trinity.)
No idea if I should attach the error output from a cmake approach.
Do, please, since that's the expected build system for tqtinterface.
