Reading the docs and guides I got the impression that tqt3 is '''the Qt3 toolkit merged with the tqt-interface library'''. One of the original goals of the Trinity project consisted of porting TDE to the Qt4 toolkit at least partially. One major improvement often cited consisting of the rendering of web pages with '''webkit''': an evolution of '''khtml'''. Usually the coexistence of two distinct releases of the same library while building software is not possible as both class and function names and namespaces are duplicated. The library named '''tqt-interface''' was thus introduced as an interface to solve the issue.

The build script works, but the resulting package contains only part of the libraries it should and is therefore '''useless for building all depending packages'''. In the end starting with tqt3 turned out to be a mistake ad a waste of time. Luckily things improved with the remaining part of the project.
