Need help with building TDE sources
by Jan Stolarek 25 Oct '25

25 Oct '25

Dear TDE devs, I would like to try my luck (and skills!) with fixing some of the bugs I've been experiencing with TDE. I need help with making my first steps though. I already have the TDE sources cloned from git repositories. Now I need help with the build process. Ideally, I would like to be able to build a Debian package on a VM dedicated to development, and then install and test that package on my primary desktop machine. I found build instructions on the wiki, but I don't know to what extent these are up-to-date: https://wiki.trinitydesktop.org/How_to_Build_TDE_Core_Modules I am confused about the Suggested Build Order section. Do I need to find each of the mentioned components and build it in the listed order? How do I build each of the components? Should I follow with the incantation in "Performing a cmake Build with Ninja" section for each of the components? How to rebuild if dependencies change? If I modify, say, dbus-tqt, do I need to manually rebuild everything that's listed below it in the dependency list? Lastly, once a certain component or application is built, how do I package it? I have no doubt, that the build instructions on the Wiki make a lot of sense for someone who already knows how to build TDE, but for a beginner they feel slightly incomplete. If anyone has the patience to guide me with my baby steps I will greatly apprciate it. Best regards, Janek

Does anybody has the same issue? I guess since testing is enabled per default now, I get this failure. Testing writing for SEPX: Sorry, testing dynamic structures isn't implemented, yet. Testing writing for STSHI: Passed. Error: Couldn't open the storage! make: *** [debian/rules:38: common-build-arch] Error 1 dpkg-buildpackage: error: fakeroot debian/rules binary subprocess returned exit status 2 debuild: fatal error at line 1182: dpkg-buildpackage -us -uc -ui -b -j4 failed -- FCD6 3719 0FFB F1BF 38EA 4727 5348 5F1F DCFE BCB0

[François] [openSUSE] new Leap 16.0 released 01 Oct.
by Felix Miata 04 Oct '25

François, latest openSUSE Leap 16.0 went GA two days ago. 15.5 support expired about last January, so http://tde-mirror.yosemite.net/trinity/rpm/ could use an update. Are you planning for 14.1.5 release to be ready before building again? -- Evolution as taught in public schools is, like religion, based on faith, not based on science. Team OS/2 ** Reg.
