UNIX is the best: check!
NO Linux is like the old-good Unix: check!

Darl McBride, it's you? What the hell you are doing in Poland?

Can't you just install KDE 3.5 on Unix or something and leave the rest of us in peace?

Wink What's the big deal? I successfully installed Trinity on Slackware-current as of November

I successfully installed Trinity on Slackware-current as of November 2010. I haven't upgraded that -current because that box is permanently in use (it's my brother's).

- I managed to get a script called "remove-kde4.sh". Then I analyzed what it had inside, then I carefully classified the KDE4 dependencies. Then I singled out the *specific* KDE4 libraries, and the QT4-related stuff. Then I made a custom installer with -current as of November 8, minus KDE4 and its *specific* deps, minus QT4, *plus QT3*. Then I installed that into a new computer. It did not launch properly, but after some minutes of looking inside the logs, I managed to know which libs needed to be symlinked. Then it worked. No big deal. So it does run on Slackware 13.x. I am a bit lazy to install it on this box. But I might do it just to install it on my girlfriend's laptop. (she happens to like KDE 3.5.x). I have finished downloading -current now and I'm creating a custom installer for my family, which of course will include Trinity instead of KDE 4.

I also have downloaded the old KDE 3.92 source, with the intention of continue porting KDE 3.5.x to QT4. Haven't touched it much. I will eventually do it when I have time to do it. (no need now that I have Trinity working, but who knows).

I do think the future of Trinity is eventually porting the desktop to QT4. QT3 is dying whether we like it or not.

That will require LOTS of time.

@2handband: Your question recalls to me: Requiestat in Pace. Don't know why.

@folkenfanel: Thanks for your recipe. What can I say more: lucky girl
