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?

I don't see much of a reason for it not to build. I would caution that certain versions of gcc (4.3 for example) contained nasty bugs that will cause crashes in TDE, so it may not always work 100% on old distibutions.

On my side, I managed to build TDE 3.5.12 under RHEL 4 (kernel 2.6.9, gcc 3.4 ...) which was out on 2005. This distro was shipped with KDE 3.3 . There is no compilation problem in TDE itself, but many optional features depends on external libraries that are not available (or outdated) on older distros. I managed to build a working kdebase with most optional features disabled (mostly audio/video stuff).

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. :)
