|
|
with &tde; <ulink url="http://www.trinitydesktop.org/">here</ulink>.</para>

<question>
|
|
<para>Binary packages are not available for my distro. What do I do?</para>
|
|
</question>
|
|
<answer>
|
|
<para>That is always a challenging situation. Are there skilled packagers who
|
|
might help? If you are skilled in compiling software from sources, source
|
|
tarballs are available for each TDE release (http://www.trinitydesktop.org/releases.php).
|
|
The development version can also be built from our GIT source tree. Use the forums
|
|
or mailing lists to contact packagers to obtain copies of their build scripts
|
|
that can be massaged to fit your distro.</para>

<question id="where-to-get-qt">
|
|
<para>Where do I get &Qt;?</para>
|
|
</question>
|
|
<answer>
|
|
<para>&Qt; is a product of the Norwegian company Trolltech. The version
|
|
upon which TDE is based no longer is actively maintained by Trolltech.
|
|
Maintenance is handled by the TDE developers. Get the latest &Qt; version
|
|
from the TDE GIT repository at
|
|
<ulink url="http://git.trinitydesktop.org/">http://git.trinitydesktop.org/</ulink>.</para>
|
|
<para>
|
|
With most &Linux; distributions, this version of &Qt; no longer is
|
|
included or maintained and must be obtained from the TDE repositories. Because
|
|
this version of &Qt; is now maintained exclusively to support TDE, the version supported
|
|
by TDE developers is not backwards compatible with the original version from Trolltech.</para>
