After the programming language of choice is installed it is possible to '''go on with the configuration procedure'''. Directory '''/opt/trinity''' was configured as the package root directory in accordance to the project guidelines. Some precautions were taken to ensure a successful package configuration. Precautions born out of reading the official documentation and a study of the old Trinity build kit for Slackware. Some script lines of code and related comments follow.

Some required configuration scripts are not present after decompressing the source code archive. They must be created by running the proper command:

The source code needs some patching in order to recognize the installed '''libtool''' package version: 2.4.2, instead of 2.2.6.

Finally the script runs the '''./configure''' command with the proper option list. Among them a special mention goes to '''--enable-closure''', required by the package for not well documented reasons.

Once the configuration successfully concludes, the script runs the make command then goes on with packaging the software.
