As per the wiki (http://trinitydesktop.org/wiki/bin/view/Developers/HowToBuild), it seems that python-kde3 source has been removed from Trinity. I've therefore built SIP and PyQt from upstream but PyKDE (3.16.7) fails, complaining it can't find kdeversion.h, which doesn't exist on my system (building from git).
Am I doing something stupid? Apologies if this is a stupid question.
The short answer is that kdeversion.h has been renamed to tdeversion.h. :) The longer answer is to browse the mailing list discussions of the past couple of days. I have been asking for clarification on the build process in order to update the wiki.
Hopefully Tim confirms this specific reply, but in a previous statement he said Trinity packages now replace PyQt3 and PyKDE3. Here are my most recent proposed changes for the wiki, which I have not yet posted:
Thank you for your very detailed response and the information it contained. I decided, after your post to start from scratch (I'm using this as a learning exercise) but even with your info I'm still having problems marrying the QT/TQT thing.
I've installed TQt (qt3-3.5.13.tar.gz source) into /opt/qt, tqtinterface into /usr, dbus-tqt & dbus-1-tqt (both with --prefix /usr), sip4-tqt and tqscintilla.
python-tqt however seems to be confused about what is installed and where. More than likely my configuration that's causing the problem!
Anyway;
'python configure.py' results in 'Error: No TQt libraries could be found in /opt/qt/lib' 'python configure.py -q /usr' results in 'Error: Unable to open /usr/mkspecs/linux-g++/qmake.conf'
etc, etc.
Obviously I don't need to build python-tqt but I would like to get a better understanding of what's going wrong.
