I am having trouble installing the trinity desktop.
I keep getting weird errors when I go to make tqtinterface including, Q_MOVABLE_TYPE is not a type and, other stuff too, is there a requirement I am missing or something?
The cmake part built properly but everything else is a bit... screwed up.DQT_VERSION=3 doesn't work I changed the 3 to a 4 and it built, but then when I used make -j4 or make it runs into major errors. Any idea how to fix?

what is the target distribution?
check here: https://www.trinitydesktop.org/releases/R14.0.5/
Seems like you want to build from source
check here: https://www.trinitydesktop.org/development.php

Hyperbola... It is a unique distro. Arch based, but not rolling uses pacman but with debian packages for stability, security, etc... Anyways though read my below reply as well.

I tried to build from that exact version, R14.0.5... I get stuck on the tqtinterface part because there is no install.txt file with clear instructions. It is hard for that reason. Can you tell me with extremely clear instructions how to install tqtinterface.
PS, I accidently replied not to the list but you yourself, so I am replying to the list this time.

This would probably be a discussion for the developers ML, not the users ML...
tqtinterface should build fine if the required packages are build before that. What is your sequence? Are you building on top of qt3 or tqt3? tqt3 is recommended. You should not use qt4 (referring to a comment to your first email).
I think on the internet there are some post of people that built TDE on Arch or Gentoo, perhaps it could help too.
Cheers Michele

Oh, even though I am building from R14.05 and am not using git sources I need to ask developer mailing list... sorry.

Required dependencies for TQT (per my package manager) are as follows:
zlib libjpeg libpng libmng, version 1.0.9 or greater freetype, version 2 or greater several X libs (libXft, libXi, xextproto, etc.)
Optional dependencies include cups, opengl, nas (Network Audio System), xinerama, and several database engines.

The make system for QT variants is kind of complicated and you're not giving a lot of information here. Exactly what commands did you issue, and what was the fatal error that ended the compile (copy and paste, and make sure you're only using one thread to build)? What options did you pass when configuring the source?
The truth is that only the development team and packagers build the whole DE manually from source most of the time--that's why people are referring you to the dev list.
