How much drive space is needed to store a full git clone of the TDE sources? Thanks.

TDE and vintage computers
by Darrell Anderson 24 May '24

24 May '24

I would like to offer that with my efforts to build TDE on vintage systems, I built TDE R14.1.2 on Slackware 14.2 64-bit (gcc 5.5.0) and Slackware 14.1 32-bit (gcc 4.8.2). Both systems are EOL as of Dec. 2023. I did not build every package but core dependencies and packages built and run. I had to find some patches to back port. For example, some patches related to hotpluggable hwlib and ensuring '-std=c++11' is declared with tqt3. These days my brain is entrenched in old fart elderly territory and I have my days exhibiting grumpy old man traits. I have been out of the loop for many years with this kind of development and tend to lose patience easily. That said, that I have built the latest TDE on vintage systems is remarkable. Dare I say that the 14.1 builds are running on Pentium I/II single core systems with less than 512 MB of RAM and a 3.10.107 kernel? A tad slow? Yes, but everything functions and the slowness is mostly caused by PATA drives. I am impressed with the developers far more than a grumpy old man being able to build TDE on vintage systems. Good job devs. :)

Running synclient before the greeter appears
by J Leslie Turriff 22 May '24

22 May '24

I'm setting up a laptop machine that doesn't have a BIOS setting for disabling its touchpad. I can run synclient in the user's .bashrc, but that doesn't disable it in the greeter, where one enters one's username and password. Where in the TDE startup sequence can I run synclient to disable the touchpad?

Proposed Wiki Changes

Please comment, clarify, or improve. Thanks. https://wiki.trinitydesktop.org/How_to_Build_TDE_Core_Modules#About_TQt and https://wiki.trinitydesktop.org/How_to_Build_TDE_Core_Modules#Configure_and… ADD: ==== Although c++11 (and c++17) are supported in TDE, users compiling automake packages for systems with older versions of gcc might require explicitly declaring compatibility with '-std=c++11'. ============ https://wiki.trinitydesktop.org/How_to_Build_TDE_Core_Modules#Other_Require… ADD: ==== Many TDE packages add features based on installing additional distro packages. For many people this approach is encouraged for a more robust desktop environment, but a good starting point is with a clean stock distro install and add supporting packages as needed. To avoid potential conflicts, compiling TDE probably is best done in an environment that does not contain any KDE related packages. ============ https://wiki.trinitydesktop.org/How_to_Build_TDE_Core_Modules#Coexisting_wi… and https://wiki.trinitydesktop.org/Tips_And_Tricks#Look_and_feel ADD: ==== Some stand-alone Qt5 software (not necessarily KDE software) might not render toolbars, fonts, and colors correctly within TDE. Some users have found that installing the 'qt5ct' package helps improve the appearance of Qt5 software. While the qt5ct environment variable QT_QPA_PLATFORMTHEME can be exported globally to all users system-wide, a more suitable place to export the variable is $TDEHOME/env/qt5ct.sh. This limits the effects of qt5ct to each user and allows each user to customize the desired Qt5 features as desired. ============ https://wiki.trinitydesktop.org/How_to_Build_TDE_Core_Modules#Build_Times DELETE the section.

error: 'nullptr' was not declared in this scope
by Darrell Anderson 20 May '24

20 May '24

I'm trying to build R14.1.2 on some vintage systems. The build log for tqt3 is filled with this error. I searched the web and not being a programmer, do not fully understand what is required for remedy. The error seems to have something to do with c++11. R14.0.12 built fine on these vintage systems. I am presuming something has since changed. One system has gcc 5.5.0. I accept this might be the end of the road for TDE on some vintage systems. That's fine, but please, no street preaching about unsupported systems. I'm trying to understand the error. Thanks.

tdelibs FTBFS

I'm building R14.1.2 on some older systems. R14.0.12 compiled fine on these systems. I am hoping the trick is back porting a patch or two. On a Slackware 14.2 64-bit system the build fails as so: [ 37%] Generating tdespell-en-handbook cd /tmp/build/tmp-tdelibs/tdelibs-trinity-14.1.2/build-tdelibs/doc/tdespell && /tmp/build/tmp-tdelibs/tdelibs-trinity-14.1.2/build-tdelibs/kdoctools/meinproc --srcdir=/tmp/build/tmp-tdelibs/tdelibs-trinity-14.1.2/build-tdelibs/ksgmltools2 --check --cache index.cache.bz2 /tmp/build/tmp-tdelibs/tdelibs-trinity-14.1.2/doc/tdespell/index.docbook /bin/sh: line 1: 22600 Bus error /tmp/build/tmp-tdelibs/tdelibs-trinity-14.1.2/build-tdelibs/kdoctools/meinproc --srcdir=/tmp/build/tmp-tdelibs/tdelibs-trinity-14.1.2/build-tdelibs/ksgmltools2 --check --cache index.cache.bz2 /tmp/build/tmp-tdelibs/tdelibs-trinity-14.1.2/doc/tdespell/index.docbook doc/tdespell/CMakeFiles/tdespell-en-handbook.dir/build.make:60: recipe for target 'doc/tdespell/index.cache.bz2' failed make[2]: *** [doc/tdespell/index.cache.bz2] Error 135 make[2]: Leaving directory '/tmp/build/tmp-tdelibs/tdelibs-trinity-14.1.2/build-tdelibs' CMakeFiles/Makefile2:10862: recipe for target 'doc/tdespell/CMakeFiles/tdespell-en-handbook.dir/all' failed make[1]: *** [doc/tdespell/CMakeFiles/tdespell-en-handbook.dir/all] Error 2 make[1]: Leaving directory '/tmp/build/tmp-tdelibs/tdelibs-trinity-14.1.2/build-tdelibs' Makefile:138: recipe for target 'all' failed make: *** [all] Error 2 What do I look for? Side note: Before any pedantic Horshacks pipe in, Slackware 14.2 was declared EOL Dec 2023. Thanks.
