I installed it and quickly created a package that mostly goes into /@unixroot/usr/local with one file, perllocal.pod in /@unixroot/usr/lib/perl5. If that already exists, add the contents of the mine to the end of the file.
I also include exiftool.cmd so that you can simply run exiftool instead of doing perl exiftool.
Feedback and suggestions welcome. can also be the basis for a new WPI

Hello

Sorry to confuse more the issue.
Are there two things, the ExifTool Perl Module, and the ExifTool command line tool? Does both belong to the same project?

Because "EXIFtool_2-2.zip" (2005) is from Marcel Mueller and it is a .exe binary with it's source code.
ExifTool Perl Module (ExifTool_Perl_9-46.wpi) (2014) I have no idea how to use it.

Regards

It appears at some point it was ported to perl. Good idea as it is portable. even without installing or running "perl Makefile.PL" then make, make install. Easy to use, go to where you untarred it and run "perl exiftool" with parameters. Installing would probably make the man pages available.

Hi,

thanks for all your suggestions so far.
I also guess, that the WPI tool only cares for other WPI installations, but not for RPM packages.
There are some Perl RPMs on my system, the one named "Perl" is on version 5.16.1-9.
Dave's suggestion to install Paul's Perl 5.8.8 WPI package was my first idea but it is not available (for me) anywhere.

So there seems no other way as to inspect the WPI package in its details, as Lars already suggested in the German OS/2 forum.
I'm not familiar with this and I will try to follow Steven's advice. This will take some time and whenever I succeed I will report it here.

I downloaded https://exiftool.org/Image-ExifTool-13.27.tar.gz, it doesn't even need installed. You should install some other Perl packages, see the README, then open ANPM, go to the available packages, scroll down to perl and you should be able to guess which packages supply stuff, eg the 1st 2 requirements,
Code: [Select]
Archive::Zip         (ZIP, DOCX, PPTX, XLSX, ODP, ODS, ODT, EIP, iWork)
Compress::Zlib       (DNG, PNG, PDF, DCM, MIE and SWF files)
are covered by
Code: [Select]
perl-Archive-extract
perl-Archive-Tar
perl-Archive-Zip
Tar might not be needed but doesn't hurt to add. Not all packages are available, some don't make sense for us such as the Win32 ones.
To run, just prefix the command with perl, after going to the folder you extracted the package to, eg the example,
Code: [Select]
perl ./exiftool t/images/ExifTool.jpg
Note using slashes instead of backslashes and the beginning ./ just means the current directory.

As Steve mentioned, it wouldn't be hard to examine the wic from ExifTool_Perl_9-46.wpi to figure out the program files. To access the wic, you need to run wic.exe -X ExifTool_Perl_9-46.wpi. wic.exe should be in C:\sys\install\WARPIN, or whatever drive letter you installed to.
Also see https://exiftool.org/ for other cmd line options, just remember on OS/2 you need to prefix the command with perl or perl.exe

Thinking about it, you could probably install Paul's Perl 5.8.8 WPI carefully paying attention to whatever config.sys changes the package makes, install ExifTool_Perl then undo the config.sys changes and put those changes into the Program objects Environment tab. There's maybe a dozen Program Objects that would need the environment updated.
I think the only changes to config.sys that the perl package will make are to PATH, LIBPATH and adding SET PERLLIB_PREFIX. Backup config.sys before doing this. Use BEGINLIBPATH instead of LIBPATH and don't use the SET in the program object's ENVIRONMENT tab.
eg guessing, the environment tab should end up something like,
Code: [Select]
PATH=C:\Perl;$PATH%
BEGINLIBPATH=C:\PERL;C:\PERL\LIB
PERLIB_PREFIX=U:/PERL/LIB
Adjust to whatever gets written to config.sys
Wouldn't hurt to do a full backup first just in case.

As I mentioned elsewhere: the WPI package script needs rework to get rid of the dependency on the Perl WPI package as Perl is now delivered via YUM/RPM.

Looks more like it needs rebuilding with a PREFIX of /@unixroot/local which hopefully will work with Perl. Currently it installs all the pod etc files in $(Paul Smedley\base)\EXIFTOOL. Could install to the system Perl but not sure what would happen when Perl is updated, especially a major update. Generally a bad idea to mix other stuff in the default RPM directories.
I'm not up enough on my Warpin scripts to try to adjust the install script to /@unixroot/local, nor sure about where in local (is it possible?) to keep Perl happy and where the default would be.

As playing around with PMUnimix and all those available unimix switches lead to no success, I opend a question on the German Linux Mint Forum:

https://www.linuxmintusers.de/index.php?topic=86025.msg1099397#new

I hope to collect more information about the OEM Kernel and its difference with the "usual" 6.8 or 6.12 Kernel.

Hmm, 403 error, guess have to have an account?
Same with https://www.linuxmintusers.de/

The original idea from Bitwise was to use the RPM installed NSPR4 and NSS and some builds were built using those RPM's. I and others found that the browser would simply vanish now and again so I went back to building using the intree NSPR4 and NSS as it was more stable.
Lars, you are using an old build and at least for me. the newer builds are more stable. Various fixes were made to build with GCC 9.2.0 and different flags, including less optimization which helped stability.
You can find the build ID by going to about:support and the GCC version and configure flags by going to about:buildconfig
Edit: about:about will list all the about: URL's

I did find the cause of the crash, after restoring from a backup, forgot to update libc/libcx. Hasn't really been any notable commits so haven't bothered to upload a new build yet.
I have only made a couple of small changes. if you want you can try building it as there is no makefile that I make.
Clone it, mkdir build, cd build, cmake .. then make.

OK, nothing recent. Here, I don't really get the low shared memory dropping, just high shared memory dropping, but I do have the DLL's marked high. I'm using Qt version 6.2.8 (runtime 6.2.11).
It still locks up too much for me to use it much. It's a shame dmik has moved on.

I meant Dooble releases. This one saw using a profile on Qt6 to fix the visited links colour. Qt5 always used a profile.
Also how is the French translation working for you? There was an update, attached.

Yes, multi-process mode on OS/2 is broken. It's a shame as single-process mode is only supposed to be used for debugging and it is quite possible that Qt6 is different with how it handles single-process mode.
Did this memory problem start happening with the recent releases or was it there before for you?
