Guys, I have added a simple Quick & Dirty build script that will build all of Trinity that has been ported to cmake using the new Traditional set of PKGBUILDs. https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Trinity#Quick_.26_Dirty_Build_for_Traditional_PKGBUILDs Just download the PKGBUILD tarballs and unzip them to a temporary directory, then set 3 path variables in the script, change to the build directory you set in the script and run it. It also provides a brief log in the build dir: Feb 18 21:54:42 building: trinity-tqtinterface resolving dependencies... looking for inter-conflicts...
