The '''TDE Utilities''' package contains many common use applications built for the '''Trinity Desktop Environment'''. Those applications permit to execute common tasks like file compression / decompression, or easy configuration management tasks like printer setup and printer queues monitoring. Some of the applications are listed below:

Tdeutils is a replacement for kdeutils as a consequence the latter one build script can be used as a template for the former. The build system has not been ported to '''[http://www.cmake.org cmake]''' yet and still relies on '''autotools''', but some updates were anyway needed to '''adapt the kdeutils 3.5 build script to tdeutils'''. Accordingly to the project guidelines '''/opt/trinity''' was configured as root directory for the package instead of '''/usr'''. The source code extracted from the archive lacks some configuration files needed by the build procedure. The missing files were created running command '''make''' in the source code root directory. Last '''a patch was applied''' to '''solve a libtool release inconsistency''' between the source code expected version, 2.2.6, and the Slackware 14.0 installed one: 2.4.2. Some script lines of code and related comments follow.
