== TDEEDU ==
[[En/trinity_desktop_environment#Base_Packages]]

The '''tdeedu''' package includes some free programs developed by the KDE project for educational purposes. All programs are integrated in the '''Trinity Desktop Environment''' and translated in the project supported languages. All of the applications for students are grouped in four main categories:
* '''Languages''': Some tools helpful to learn Yours or a foreign language.
* '''Mathematics''': Some applications useful to learn algebra and geometry.
* '''Sciences''': Offers a virtual planetarium and an element periodic table.
* '''Miscellaneous''': Generic programs that cannot be included in any of the previously listed categories. An example is '''Ktouch''' a tool to learn typing.
The package is fully optional and '''no TDE functionality will go missing by not installing it'''.

== Tdeedu and Slackware ==

The tdeedu package replaces kdeedu for KDE 3.5. The build system relies on '''autotools''' and has not been ported to [http://www.cmake.org cmake] yet. The kdeedu build script can be used for tdeedu, but some updates and tweaks are due. The following rules were applied when compiling the package to ensure a clean build:
* Directory '''/opt/trinity''' was set as package root directory.
* Some missing makefiles were created running the '''make''' command from inside the main directory of the code extracted from the source archive.
* The source code '''was patched''' in order to '''solve a version mismatch issue with libtool''': the source code was configured for release 2.2.6, but 2.4.2 is installed along Slackware 14.0.
No specific options were used for the '''configure''' command as the package seems not to need any. Some script lines of code and related comments follow.

Some configuration scripts required by the build procedure are missing from the source tarball. We create the makefiles using the make command:
# Prepare the package for building (Create the configure script).
echo "(II) admin makefile run here" >> ${OUTPUT}/${PRGNAM}_configure.log
make -f admin/Makefile.common \
2>&1 | tee -a ${OUTPUT}/${PRGNAM}_configure.log
A patch is needed to solve a '''libtool''' package version mismatch conflict:
# Patch the admin/ltmain.sh script in order to solve a version mismatch.
patch -p0 -i ${SRCDIR}/ltmain_version_update.patch
'''The script specifically sets Qt libraries paths''' in order for other scripts to find them at build time:
# Add temporary paths to handle new libraries during build
export QTDIR=/opt/trinity
export PATH=/opt/trinity/bin:/usr/bin:$PATH
export LIBDIR=/usr/lib${LIBDIRSUFFIX}
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/lib${LIBDIRSUFFIX}:/opt/trinity/lib${LIBDIRSUFFIX}
export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=:/usr/lib${LIBDIRSUFFIX}/pkgconfig:/opt/trinity/lib${LIBDIRSUFFIX}/pkgconfig:$PKG_CONFIG_PATH
Finally the script runs the '''./configure''' command to configure source code in accordance to the destination environment:
# Configure the package
LDFLAGS="${SLKLDFLAGS}" \
CFLAGS="${SLKCFLAGS}" \
CXXFLAGS="${SLKCFLAGS}" \
../${PRGNAM}-${VERSION}/configure \
--prefix=${PREFIX} \
--sysconfdir="/etc/trinity" \
--libdir=${LIBDIR} \
--mandir=${PREFIX}/man \
--with-qt-dir=${QTDIR} \
--with-qt-includes=${PREFIX}/include \
--with-qt-libraries=${PREFIX}/lib${LIBDIRSUFFIX} \
--disable-rpath \
--enable-closure \
2>&1 | tee -a ${OUTPUT}/${PRGNAM}_configure.log
Once the configuration successfully concludes, the script runs the make command then goes on with packaging the software.

A full script can be downloaded from the following [http://www.giustetti.net/resource/slackbuild/tde/35132/tdeedu.tar.gz link]. The output package can be installed using command '''installpkg''' as usual in Slackware Linux.
