IIRC the first port of Voix was mine. I'm glad to see that someone improved it.
Thanks Andy.

Hi Mentore.
Since Lewis (from Arca Noae) replied and is now aware of the issue, I prefered to censor the name of the website.

Ahh ok... Yes, makes sense you'd have to keep up ODIN with new libraries.
Wish I was a programmer so I could help with porting...... Anything a non-programmer can do to help?
Thanks!

Eventually, we're likely to need ipv6 support. Probably mean a new TCPIP stack, a major job.
Seems one of the problems was LTS versions of QT5 (excepting the web engine) were only available commercially, KDE kept its own repository of patches for that and also some modules such as the charting one are only available under a commercial license.
Wouldn't be surprised that they floated the idea of only commercial licensing and got so much push back that they caved. It happened before.
Sure, see I used the system pcre and also I only built a release build as previously I had problems building both. Also I have -no-dbus on my configure line.
I think I give up.... I'm still getting this error ever after getting a config.summary almost identical to yours....
It's weird, I had the problem with not detecting libvpx, which only went away when I moved to a different install. I really can't see why it was failing, the headers are identical and Mozilla built fine using the system libvpx.
Guess you could nuke your Unixroot tree and start over.
I still have to test a debug build and a both build, just reluctant as it takes 12 hours+ and can't do anything else on the machine due to memory shortage.
and the laptop with debug build
I now tried the "Direct Audio" in "IBM Developer's Toolkit version 4.5" subfolder "Multimedia Sample Programs" and
played REC said bla bla bla, stopped it and played it back... with a lot of noise, but I could hear my own bla bla bla.
So can it use the internal mic perhaps?
"Audio Recorder" in the same "Multimedia Sample Programs" refuse however to work.
Yes, it would be nice, but QtCreator is not a generic IDE. It's tailored to Qt development.
Thanks Joche, I guess you are right. I download it and I don't see any generic Non Qt project on the list.
I guess if we are dreaming we should aim for the Eclipse IDE and/or Apache Netbeans, right?

Well, from a non-commercial POV this is probably the best solution one can seek imho. On the "abandonware" side the best editors for OS/2 are the VAC 4 IDE and (AFAIK) Visual SlickEdit, together with I seem to remember VisualAge for SmallTalk.
There was some talk about how to retrieve at least Visual SlickEdit, but nothing more.

Talking about VAC.. is there any way to convert Feature Installer based installers to something more modern, so programs like VAC could be installed without having to use Netscape ?..

I use Linux some but it is a mess. Unreliable and unnecessarily fussy.
It appears that Arce Noe is nothing but unix or linux with a glued on desktop I am not going to bother with something that is one large Kludge and a deliberately over complicated. It may be good as a server but a PITA as a desktop device.
There is indeed a very very long list of reasons.
OS/4 mentions not a decent Office Package. Warp 3 came with IBM works, it was a hell of lot more then Wordpad. I mean at the OS front OS/2 was hit by Microsoft. But look wat happened to Lotus 1-2-3-> Excel. Wordperfect which was well the defacto DOS word processor. Word and Excel pushed these guys out of the market as well.
IBM did pay vendors to publish games for OS/2. Such as Maxis that published Simcity 2000 for OS/2 and some other game vendors. But indeed this was to little at to late.
With people getting Windows 95 at home according to one analysis I read a few years ago. People at large companies started to complain why they should use OS/2 at work if they had Windows at home...
As for the driver support that is true. What I think what has also not helped is that CD drives had different standards. Not all CD ROM's where supported by OS/2. With Windows 95 you could load a DOS device driver. Making it easier....

Is it worth even keeping v3.1 (and 3.2) around? The latest 3.x was 3.3.6, which perhaps should be uploaded to Hobbes, same with 4.x where the latest seems to have been 4.5.0.
BTW, the last release of XFree86 seems to have been 4.8, which I could probably build, it's EMX, need gcc-elf and an EMX unixroot. Probably some of the xorgs from before they ripped out the imake stuff and/or OS/2 code could also probably be built. I don't see the point unless very bored though.
