Bob, For relatively modern hardware, solution is to setup virtual machine with older distribution and have it for such purposes. If I had to perform extensive testing various versions of the app, I would go this way. Old packages could stop work on newer versions of distributions, I think, especially because dependencies (like libraries) are newer there. For the same reasone even building the old code on newer system is not an option because you would have the old KDElibs (version 3.x) at least present, what is probably also missing on newer version of most distributions. -- regards / pozdrawiam, Jaroslaw Staniek http://www.linkedin.com/in/jstaniek Kexi & KOffice (http://kexi-project.org, http://identi.ca/kexi, http://koffice.org) KDE Software Development Platform on MS Windows (http://windows.kde.org) _______________________________________________ Kexi mailing list [email protected] https://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/kexi
