Everything becomes "simple" with experience and knowledge. :) I have neither with building qt3 from these new sources. To where do I save this git repository? Currently I have a segregated build directory where I store Trinity SVN. If I run the git clone command, how much am I downloading? MBs? GBs? Am I supposed to be building all packages from git or only qt3? I would update the wiki (and have several times in the past), but I haven't a clue about what I am doing. This all might be old news to those of you who have been doing this for the several months, but I am clueless about what is happening here. :) Thanks. Darrell
