Is this possible?
I'm not asking for support. I only want to know whether
Trinity will
build on older distros. Has anything been done to
Trinity that
prevents building on older distros? That is, KDE 3.5.10
goes quite a
few years back and could still be built today with
older distros, but
will Trinity build?
François Andriot has already built Trinity 3.5.13 on RHEL5, which age is approximately the same as Slackware 11.0. The KDE e.V. publishes a list of requirements of KDE 3.5 here: http://www.kde.org/info/requirements/3.5.php so it may actually build, with some features disabled, with much older Slackware versions (Slackware 8.1 is the first one to provide simultaneously GCC 2.95, zlib 1.1 and libpng 1.2 by default). Obviously some new packages will be needed (at least CMake 2.8).
Okay, thanks everybody. Contemplating a rainy day project. :)
