Are these packages required for Trinity? If so, at what point are they required? We do have instructions already in LFS for D-Bus and avahi libraries. Basically, if a kde3 package needed the qt3 one, they now need the tqt one. > > Second, I have had some problems building kdelibs. There were no problems following the instructions for qt3, tqtinterface, or arts, but there were many places in building kdelibs where I had to edit a link.txt file and add -lX11.

There's also R14 coming out in 4 more months :P I remember that I wanted to do BLFS for 3.5.12 (and bringing it up), but the lower autoconf version seemed to be a problem. You'll realized that we haven't fully converted to cmake :-/ > > Thanks for your help. > > -- Bruce Dubbs > >
