Test build of dooble with qt5

[Paul Smedley]

Hey guys,

I'm many have read posts of a build of dooble existing and is waiting on an rpm.

I couldn't understand why a zip wasn't being provided, so I spent a little bit of time this morning building it myself, the result is https://smedley.id.au/tmp/dooble-2022.04.04-os2-20220424.zip

Note I've had the browser close on me a few times, no idea yet if these are dooble or Qt5 related. There is nothing in popuplog.os2  not in the exceptq folder

edit: I would like to add that this wouldn't be possible if it wasn't for the work that Dmitry has put into the port of Qt5.

Enjoy!

Cheers,

Paul

Thanks Paul!

My build crashes now and again at a breakpoint, I assume that it is an OOM (out of memory) error.
I see commits today to force single process mode as well.

[Dave Yeo]

Paul, did you have problems with the lack of mlock and munlock? I ended up disabling the check for it in the pro file.

I did something similar Except I assumed mmap was in use, so I didn't change the pro, I just added a #ifndef __KLIBC__ around the calls to mlock/munlock.

Next is to rebuilt with GCC 11.3.0 well, just because.

Hi All

Guess my qt5 installation needs updating ... where do I find QT5WEBW? - and any other required files?


Regards

Pete

[Dave Yeo]

They should all be in netlabs-rel.

Code: [Select]

qt5-qtwebengine-5.15.2-1.oc00.pentium4 : Qt5 - QtWebEngine components
Repo        : netlabs-rel
Matched from:
Other       : qt5webw.dll


[Paul Smedley]

Agree - qt5-qtwebengine should drag in everything needed - perhaps libssp as well

[Dave Yeo]

Something else to consider is that as many as the dependency DLLs need to be marked high for stability. I listed them in the SimpleBrowser thread, guess we should have a script to do it.

[Dave Yeo]

Here's a script to, I hope, mark all the dependent DLL's to load high. May need to reboot after to replace the files that were unlocked.
As an aside, trying to post a file from Dooble to here results in a crash and site can't be reached error. Currently the browser stays open but Dmitiry committed today a preference for it to run in single process mode, which is set, so in the future it may take out the whole browser.
Edit: Needs to be run in @unixroot\usr\lib. I'll fix it and update this post.
Edit: fixed script, please test.

Hi Dave

Thanks for pointing out the existence of qt5-qtwebengine-5.15.2-1.oc00.pentium4

My follow up question is: Why does ANPM not list this package? - not found on a search either...


Regards

Pete

[Dave Yeo]

ANPM here shows that qt5-qtwebengine is installed. Perhaps ignore the version part so on a cmd line "yum install qt5-qtwebengine" without the quotes should work.
Originally I basically installed all the qt5 packages. Currently the betas of AOS 5.1 also install the requirements I believe, though I should double check.
Another consideration is that VIRTUALADDRESSLIMIT should be as high as you can put it while still being stable.

[Paul Smedley]

For interest, a GCC 11 build. In limited testing here, it perhaps seemed a little more stable.  https://smedley.id.au/tmp/dooble-2022.04.04-os2-20220424-gcc11.zip

Hi

I'm testing it on my ArcaOS 5.0.7 VM, it is stable, not fast, but stable.

Element Chat (Matrix) is running on Dooble too.

I'm able to run the test build on ArcaOS 5.0.7 that I already had Otter running. I did need to run Dave Yeo's mark_high.cmd to log into OS/2 World. Posting from dooble!
