Importing new applications to TDE R14 (was: Re: [trinity-users] 3.5.13.2 coming soon)

You can try using the automated conversion script here: http://git.trinitydesktop.org/cgit/experimental/tree/qt3-tqt3/convert_exist… Be warned that it takes a LOT of CPU time to run, and that the result probably won't compile the first time around. However, it will deal with 99% of the tedious renaming without intervention. You then need to take into account the more recent TDE header file and class name changes. Unfortunately, I do not have a script to automatically convert a project to use the new TDE class names and header files, so you would need to make those changes by hand or via your own scripts. How I typically handle import of a new application is I first commit the last known working version of the application from the original source (i.e. the original project website) to a new GIT repository. I then apply and commit all changes needed to get it building on Qt3 with TDE 3.5.13.x, then finally run the autoconversion tools and commit the first working version for TDE R14. This keeps the original versions around in the GIT history in case something broke during build fixes and/or R14 conversion and is not noticed until far in the future (this has happened many times before!)
