Applications / Re: EXIFTool
« on: Today at 05:37:03 am »
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.

Not here. Tried SeaMonkey, then Dooble-Qt6. Then fell back to my phone where I tried the duckduckgo browser and then Chrome, all give 403 Forbidden, You don't have permission to access this resource. My son also tried Firefox on Win 11. Phone is on a different network from our home, phone is Bell and home is Telus
Geo-blocked?

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.

I'm running on a 7th gen I5 on real hardware, usually a BIOS install.
Webengine I believe is,

Mostly I use SeaMonkey and also Thunderbird, have to close Thunderbird if using Dooble but often keep SM open. I use NoScript in SM which helps keep the memory use down and more stuff to render.

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?

« on: April 12, 2025, 06:52:04 pm »
You might want to go to https://github.com/bitwiseworks/rpm-specs and find a spec close to what you need and modify it.
There's OS/2 specific macros. Looking at some logs of rpms I built here, they all start similar to,
Code: [Select]
Building for target pentium4-OS/2-OS/2
Executing(%prep): /@unixroot/usr/bin/sh -e /@unixroot/var/tmp/rpm-tmp.OfOe63
+ umask 022
+ export SHELL=/@unixroot/usr/bin/sh.exe
+ export CONFIG_SHELL=/@unixroot/usr/bin/sh.exe
+ export MAKESHELL=/@unixroot/usr/bin/sh.exe
+ cd k:/rpmbuild/BUILD
I'm not a RPM expert

Shell issue? Wonder which printf you are using, printf.exe or the shell's builtin printf. You could try experimenting with the $config.shell, there's dash's sh.exe and bash. Also what is your makeshell set to. Find out by running just SET MAKESHELL mine,
Code: [Select]
>set makeshell
MAKESHELL=sh.exe
