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:

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:

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:
