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

'''Tdesdk''' is a software package for the '''Trinity Desktop Environment''' aiming to provide a SDK ('''S'''oftware '''D'''evelopment '''K'''it): a bundle of libraries and tools to ease '''development of TDE integrated applications'''. The package is meant for developers and includes many tools to perform such tasks as: program localization, bug management and application profiling. Some included tools are:
* '''Cervisia''': A graphical interface for the '''C'''oncurrent '''V'''ersions '''S'''ystem a file version control system.
* '''KBabel''': A tool to translate and localize applications.
* '''KBugBuster''': A tool for bug reporting and management.
* '''KCachegrind''': A graphical interface for performance analysis tools.
* '''Kdesvn''': A graphical interface for '''Subversion''' a version control system aiming to replace CVS.
* '''Kompare''': A graphical interface for patch files. Allows developers to preview the patch contained updates.
* '''KUIViewer''': A viewer for files created by '''Qt Designer''' a GUI development tool for the Qt libraries.
* '''Umbrello''': A program to draw '''UML''' diagrams.
and many more minor programs.

=== Tdesdk and Slackware ===

The '''tdesdk''' package replaces and updates the corresponding '''kdesdk''' distributed with KDE release 3.5. As a consequence it inherits a build script that can be used as reference to build a Slackware 14.0 installable binary package. The source code includes many '''autotools''' configuration files, but they are just remains and can be ignored: the package was '''ported to [http://www.cmake.org cmake]''' which is now the default build system. The SlackBuild script is in need of heavy rewriting to adapt to the new build system. The project guidelines were strictly followed: '''/opt/trinity''' was configured as the root directory for the package ensuring TDE coexistence with KDE 4. The [http://www.trinitydesktop.org/wiki/bin/view/Developers/HowToBuild TDE building how-to] suggests to enable the '''--enable-closure''' build option, but it is again remains from the '''automake''' days and as such can be safely ignored. The package was built after installing '''tdepim''' in order to enable some application requested features bond to the '''libkcal''' library and to the shared calendar. Some script lines of code and related comments follow.

First thing the build script '''has to clean the cmake cache''':
# Clean cmake cache
find . -name CMakeCache.txt -exec rm {} \;
Then it '''creates a directory''' where to build software and store output binaries. As for previously built packages ''the directory was named '''build''' in order for cmake to find it'':
# Create a directory where to build source (cmake wants the name to be build).
cd ${TMP}/tmp-${PRGNAM}
mkdir build
cd build
'''Specifically set Qt libraries paths''' in order for build 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
Last the script runs the cmake command with the proper options:
# Configure the package
cmake ${TMP}/tmp-${PRGNAM}/${PRGNAM}-${VERSION} \
-DCMAKE_C_FLAGS:STRING="${SLKCFLAGS}" \
-DCMAKE_CXX_FLAGS:STRING="${SLKCFLAGS}" \
-DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=${PREFIX} \
-DCMAKE_SKIP_RPATH=OFF \
-DSYSCONF_INSTALL_DIR="/etc/trinity" \
-DLIB_SUFFIX=${LIBDIRSUFFIX} \
-DMAN_INSTALL_DIR=${PREFIX}/man \
-DWITH_DBSEARCHENGINE=ON \
-DBUILD_KSTARTPERF=ON \
-DBUILD_KUIVIEWER=ON \
-DWITH_KCAL=ON \
-DBUILD_KBUGBUSTER=ON \
-DBUILD_ALL=ON \
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/tdesdk.tar.gz link]. The output package can be installed by mean of command '''installpkg''' as usual in Slackware Linux.
