<title>Introduction to Trinity/KDE3</title>
|
|
|
|
<para>Trinity is a project that aims to keep the KDE 3.5 computing style
|
|
alive, as well as keeping the existing code base current. It is a
|
|
comprehensive desktop environment that builds on an <application>X Window
|
|
System</application> and <application>Qt</application> version 3 to provide a
|
|
window manager and many user tools, including a browser, word processor,
|
|
spreadsheet, presentation package, games, and numerous other utilities. It
|
|
provides extensive capabilities for customization.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>The <application>Trinity/KDE3</application> instructions are divided into
|
|
three parts. The first part, the core packages, are needed for the rest of
|
|
<application>Trinity/KDE3</application> to work. The second part presents additional
|
|
packages which provide functionality in various areas (multimedia, graphics, etc.)
|
|
The third part provides resources for software and web developers.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>There are two alternatives for installing
|
|
<application>Trinity/KDE3</application>. Option one, that is used by most of
|
|
the commercial distributions, is to install
|
|
<application>Trinity/KDE3</application> in the standard system prefix:
|
|
<filename class="directory">/usr</filename>. This option allows the use of
|
|
<application>Trinity/KDE3</application> without the need for any additional
|
|
configuration such as modification of various environment variables or
|
|
configuration files. Option two, recommended by the Trinity developers and
|
|
BLFS Editors is to install it in a unique prefix such as <filename
|
|
class="directory">/opt/trinity</filename> or <filename
|
|
class="directory">/opt/trinity-&trinity-version;</filename>. This option
|
|
allows for easy removal of the <application>Trinity/KDE3</application>
|
|
version or maintenance of multiple versions for testing.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>The <application>Trinity/KDE3</application> pakages are undergoing
|
|
constant upgrades. With the 3.5.13 version, the core packages are
|
|
configured with <userinput>cmake</userinput> and the rest are built using the
|
|
traditional <userinput>configure</userinput> command.</para>
|
|
|
|
<tip>
|
|
<para>All the <application>Trinity/KDE3</application> packages that are
|
|
built with <userinput>configure</userinput> are comprised of various
|
|
components. The default is to install most of the components. If specific
|
|
components are to be eliminated, the way is to set the variable
|
|
<envar>DO_NOT_COMPILE</envar>. This comes in handy when there are problems
|
|
compiling a particular component.</para>
|
|
|
|
<screen><userinput>DO_NOT_COMPILE="component1 component2" \
|
|
./configure --prefix=$TRINITY_PREFIX ...</userinput></screen>
