installing parts of Trinity in /usr/local

For most activities, I use Fluxbox on Gentoo with a number of KDE 4 apps. However, there are 2 KDE 3 apps which I really value & which have not been ported -- or not adequately -- to KDE 4 , ie Kmahjongg & Kworldclock; I would also like to keep Ksokoban around. Currently, I have them installed with supporting libs in an overlay : O/LAYS -- kde-sunset : rebuilt for libpng15 111107 kde-base/kdeartwork-kworldclock-3.5.10 111107 kde-base/kdelibs-3.5.10-r6 [ ~ : 13 min ] 111107 kde-base/kmahjongg-3.5.10 111107 kde-base/ksokoban-3.5.10 111107 kde-base/kworldclock-3.5.10-r1 [~] 111107 kde-base/libkdegames-3.5.10 [for kmahjongg etc] 120630 net-dns/libidn-1.25 [for kdelibs3] 111107 x11-libs/qt-meta-3.3.8b-r2 [for KDE3] That's from my homemade list of installed pkgs. KDE 3 is no longer supported by Gentoo & will probably become unusable in the near future after some further update of the pkg-manager Portage. Therefore, I would like to install the Trinity versions of the above -- 'qt-meta:3' is a regular Gentoo pkg & sb ok as it stands -- & the correct place for them seems to be /usr/local . I don't want to install the rest of Trinity, which I wouldn't use. Is this feasible & does anyone have basic advice how to go about it ? I have 'git' installed, but am not a developer & have never used it as such: it merely provides background support for the 'sunset' overlay. -- ========================,,============================================ SUPPORT ___________//___, Philip Webb ELECTRIC /] [] [] [] [] []| Cities Centre, University of Toronto TRANSIT `-O----------O---' purslowatchassdotutorontodotca
