===========================================

I'm progressing my way toward building Trinity on the most recent Slackware release. For preparation, I am first building Trinity on Slackware 12.2 using the 3.5.12 tarballs. The idea is that Trinity 3.5.12 will get installed and coexist with KDE 3.5.10. When I eliminate the building bugs I then will start building on the latest Slackware release, where QT4 and KDE4 is installed.

I can build 3.5.12 on Slackware 12.2. That was with an installation location in the traditional /usr rather than /opt/trinity.

I built the four 3.5.12 core packages using $PREFIX=/opt/trinity. I built sip and PyQT3 without errors.

The next package in the build sequence before building kdebindings with python support is PyKDE3. I'm building PyKDE3 with the following:

python ./configure.py -k $PREFIX -L $LIBDIR -n $LIBDIR/kde3 -o $PREFIX/include -i

where:

KDE base directory ($PREFIX): /opt/trinity
lib directory ($LIBDIR): /opt/trinity/lib
KDE lib directory: /opt/trinity/lib/kde3
KDE include directory: /opt/trinity/include

PyKDE3 built fine when I used the original locations of /usr, /usr/include, /usr/lib, /usr/lib/kde3.

I built and installed sip and pyqt3 to /usr rather than /opt/trinity as there is no conflict with other packages that I know. When PyKDE3 FTBFS, I then rebuilt those two packages to install in /opt/trinity.

Same failure.

Probably a path problem. Any ideas?
