I would like to offer that with my efforts to build TDE on vintage
systems, I built TDE R14.1.2 on Slackware 14.2 64-bit (gcc 5.5.0) and
Slackware 14.1 32-bit (gcc 4.8.2). Both systems are EOL as of Dec. 2023.
I did not build every package but core dependencies and packages built
and run.
I had to find some patches to back port. For example, some patches
related to hotpluggable hwlib and ensuring '-std=c++11' is declared with
tqt3.
These days my brain is entrenched in old fart elderly territory and I
have my days exhibiting grumpy old man traits. I have been out of the
loop for many years with this kind of development and tend to lose
patience easily. That said, that I have built the latest TDE on vintage
systems is remarkable.
Dare I say that the 14.1 builds are running on Pentium I/II single core
systems with less than 512 MB of RAM and a 3.10.107 kernel? A tad slow?
Yes, but everything functions and the slowness is mostly caused by PATA
drives.
I am impressed with the developers far more than a grumpy old man being
able to build TDE on vintage systems. Good job devs. :)
