I discovered the hard way that trying to build the Trinity packages with KDE 3.5.10 installed will cause many headaches.

I created a virtual machine without KDE installed and I built tqtinterface there. You still need qt3 installed.

Also, you need to rebuild the make files with each package. Much is changed with Trinity include files and these make files need to be rebuilt.

On my system I run the following commands in my build scripts:

cp -Rp /usr/lib/build/libtool.m4 admin/libtool.m4.in
cp -Rp /usr/lib/build/ltmain.sh admin/ltmain.sh
make -f admin/Makefile.common

Locations might be different for Gentoo.

I'm attaching the build script I used to create a tqtinterface package for Slackware. Hopefully that provides some ideas of what you need in Gentoo.

I hope that helps.

Darrell
