Paul,

  Gave Scribus a try and it is quite impressive! It mostly works from what I can tell so far... a few issues:

1. get an error window on start: There is a problem loading 1 of 47 plugins, 'importpd.dll'. The console also says: Error loading plugin: dlopen rc=2 extra=POPPL133
Using PMDLL to look at importpd.dll shows a dependency on poppl133.dll which I don't have. Do you have it?

2 Console show message at start 'UnicodeSearchModule: error reading unicode!'

3. Console shows message at start: No valid renderframes found - using defaults! It turns out that on the 'External Tools' settings page in 'Preferences', the render frames settings are blank. I added them (by looking at Scribus 1.4.6 settings and going to the same directory in Scribus 1.7.0).

4. When shutting down I would see a message: Cannot write file C:/Home/.local/share/scribus/charpallette.ucp. Turned out the directory did not exist, so I created it manually.

 Thanks for building it!

Regards,

Tellie,

  Have you tried to use PMDLL to see if you have all DLLs needed for it? Also, do you have the absolute latest libcn0.dll and libcx0.dll files (mine are dated 8/3/2024) and no old ones floating around to interfere?

  OO 3.18 is working well here...

Dave,

You can try setting LIBC_THREAD_MIN_STACK_SIZE to a larger size then the default of 4096 bytes. Perhaps as high as 65636, though 32768 or 16384 might be enough.

  Tried that on a few examples, but no change...

  Maybe the error is a result of something else entirely. Here is a typical result:

C:\qt6.8\examples\quick\models\stringlistmodel\bin\stringlistmodelexample
qrc:/qt/qml/stringlistmodel/view.qml:12:15: QML Component: Cannot create delegate
qrc:/qt/qml/stringlistmodel/view.qml: Maximum call stack size exceeded.
qrc:/qt/qml/stringlistmodel/view.qml:12:15: QML Component: Cannot create delegate
qrc:/qt/qml/stringlistmodel/view.qml: Maximum call stack size exceeded.

 A small blank window opened for this example. Maybe the 'Cannot create delegate' results in an overflowed stack?

 No POPUPLOG for any of the examples with the 'Maximum call stack size exceeded' error. Tried the 'emxstack' size increase trick, but it made no difference on any example I tried...

 Hey Paul,

  Went thru all the examples of 6.8 and results are almost exactly like for 6.6, except maybe fewer actual crashes (only http and rhiwindow actually crashed). The 'quick' and 'quickcontrols' had the most issues, and they were all related to the 'maximum call stack size exceeded' error. Some of the quick examples didn't work because the 'shared' folder was missing though.

  On a related note, I was browsing at the QT website (https://www.qt.io/blog/qt-6.5-lts-released) and noticed in the 'QT Multimedia' section this:

"The FFmpeg media backend is now the default for macOS, Windows, Android, and desktop Linux - on embedded systems, GStreamer continues to be the default, but FFmpeg can be enabled explicitly. This backend makes the same functionality available consistently on almost all platforms."

 Would it be possible to enable ffmpeg for the OS/2 port to use as its multimedia backend?

Regards,

 Thanks Paul. This one is a mixed bag, I did a quick test of some apps (with 6.2.10 Webengine) and Dooble doesn't work (silent exit) nor does focuswriter or LibreCAD or Tea or Tetzle. Media-Downloader, Soduku, ppineapplepicture, and QTPasswordgenerator do work. I'll try some examples later today...

 I have also been using PMMail with Comcast for many years with almost no issues. The only issue I have had is when a message must be read in a browser and the browser doesn't support the Javascript junk it contains.

was that a gag about my recent (well a month ago) injury???

Paul,

<blush> I wasn't thinking of that at the time I typed and certainly didn't mean to make light of your injury... hope you are recovering well!

 OK, glad you're back on your feet. One thing about learning something the hard way (if you survive) is you don't quickly forget...

 I wonder how Windows avoids such a fate with QT6.7+? Since it uses drives too...

Paul,

  Gave this 6.7 build a try and I get pretty much identical results with the examples I got with 6.6. dbus examples don't work, anything with 'rhi' doesn't work, drag and drop doesn't work, no systray, no screenshot, no touch, http crashed, torrent doesn't download. Everything else is good. Some apps (soduku, media-downloader, tea) worked with it fine. Others would either give an error about missing libraries, or hang the system (very annoying, why would that happen if a library is missing?).

  For fun, I then dropped this build on top of the 6.6 tree to see what would happen. Most apps worked, but 2 that did not were Dooble and LibreCAD (Dooble silent exits, LibreCAD moans about mixed versions of QT components).

Regards,

 Thanks Paul - this is a big improvement. All network examples work here except 'http'(SIGSEGV) and Torrent (seems to work, but doesn't actually download anything, but no crash now). The qmlchartsgallery, quick, and quickcontrols examples mostly run but don't work right and see a lot of 'Maximum stack size exceeded' errors, but no crashes now (even when I move the 'shared' folder to the root and update the qmldir file). The ones without a 'shared' subdirectory seem to work.

 Tried Tellie's nomacs with this build and it seems to work fine (if I put it in my C:\usr\local directory - won't work just unzipped). Tea and NotePadNext now work with this version too. Thanks!

Paul,

  I went back and inspected the Network examples in more detail - here is what I see here:

BlockingFortuneClient - seems to run, but the server does not send a message, see below.

BroadcastSender - seems to work but

BroadcastReceiver - does not show anything received from the sender

dnslookup - works

FortuneServer - get an error window 'Unable to start the server. Unsupported socket operation' Click 'OK' and a blank window opens.

FortuneClient - runs, but nothing to receive.

http - works - downloads a file, but then ends with a SIGABRT and exceptq file

MultiCastSender - works

MultiCastReceiver - works - shows message in console 'QNativeSocketEngine: has PendingDatagrams() was called in QAbstractSocket::Unconnected state.' Maybe just a notice?

Network-chat - ran 2 instances, both run, but no message gets from one to the other in either direction.

rsslisting - works

SecureSocketClient - seems to work, but eventually get error window 'The TLS/SSL connection has been closed.' If I send a message I get a 'bad request' error in it.

Secureudpserver - works

Secureudpclient - works

ThreadedFortuneServer - runs, but get error window 'Unable to start the server. Unsupported Socket Operation.' Hit 'OK' and a blank window appears.

Torrent - seems to work, I can start to download a torrent file, but quickly get a SIGABRT and exceptq file.

 Those are the details from my system. Maybe there is a difference in our environments?

 Thanks Paul... I was able to get Dooble working with this one once I copied the webengine parts from 6.2!

 Tea and NotePadNext don't work - silent exits with both now. Media-Downloader, Soduku, LibreCAD, Strong Password Generator, and Focuswriter all run.
