=== TQT3 and Slackware ===
=== TQT3 and Slackware ===
Figuring that building the tqt3 package should take less than compiling sequentially both Qt3 and tqt-interface, I wrote a build script for the task using ''' the official Qt3 slackbuild script''' as an example. Configuration files '''slack-desc''' and '''doinst.sh''' and directory '''profile.d''' contents were copied from the TDE build kit for Slackware. Sadly the build kit is not available anymore. The result of my efforts can be found inside the achive linked [http://www.giustetti.net/resource/script/tde/35132/tqt3.tar.gz here].

While writing the script I was somewhat disappointed '''not to find an up to date release of the source code tqt3 package'''. The more recent available release being '''3.5.13'''. Both the 3.5.13.1 and 3.5.13.2 cannot be downloaded from the project web site. I could not find an official statement in the documentation and guides, but I suspect the library is not updated anymore. It's only a feeling somewhat supported by the fact that, once built, the resulting package lacks some libraries needed by the desktop environment. In the end '''tqt3 cannot be used as a basis for a TDE full build for Slackware'''.
