I have successfully built the dependencies, kdebase and kdelibs
checked out from SVN on September 9th on my Slackware64 13.37 system:
-Everything is installed into /opt/kde3 prefix
-the Qt3 SlackBuild I used is attached; it builds Qt3 cleanly and
successfully (I didn't see the problems mentioned by Patrick
Volderking in his build script, and kdebase/kdelibs builds and runs).
-the poppler-qt3, qca1, qca1-tls SlackBuilds from the
kde-3.5.10-for-slack13.0 build well once that the hard-coded path in
the qca1-tls build script is updated
-the basic global configuration is in the kdeetc3 tarball. This
configuration doesn't stop KDE4 from running, and if KDE4 is installed
one just has to
$ unset KDEDIRS
before running Trinity.
-for packages from the SVN tree I used a single CMake build script (the
"build" file of the tarball).
