 Thanks Dave, Rich and Paul for this fix! Works well here with Dooble using either QT6 or QT5.

 Dave, in regards to OpenGL, Paul said QT needs either gl2.h or egl.h to build OpenGL functions. You had made a build of PortableGL whose samples worked well here so I was wondering if PortableGL provided either of those files...

Regards,

 Looks like he has a fork at https:\\www.github.com\dryeo\dooble

Tellie,

  You probably need to use 'Highmem' to get the DLL's to load into high memory... from a command prompt like this:

highmem -c qt6weben.dll

 Highmem is available from ANPM.

Thanks Paul... I get a 404 'not found' on that link, but figured out it needs the'tmp' directory added so https://smedley.id.au/tmp/qt6weben-systemicu-20241125.zip does work. I'll give it a try later today...

LATER: Tried it and it works fine, but I don't see any difference - still get odd characters in the title bar every once in awhile I don't get with the QT5 version. Paul's website shows it ( https://os2ports.smedley.id.au )- there is a question mark '?' in the QT5 dooble tiitle bar the QT6 version shows 3 strange characters there...

Pete,

  You could try Digi's SDL ports found here: http://os2.snc.ru/product-SDL.html. Pretty sure they use the DLL names you list...

 Hi Sigurd,

  This is a total shot in the dark: do you have the 'STUBFSD.IFS ISOFS' line in CONFIG.SYS? If so try disabling that. Maybe disable UDF.IFS too, reboot then retry.

 Thanks Paul! This one at first use is at least as good as the last. I'll provide a blow-by-blow for the examples when I get some time to study them...

  Any ideas what Javascript needs to get the webengine working?

Pete,

  Yes, you need to install the USB audio driver using Minstall. Once installed, after rebooting you should have a tab in the 'Multimedia Setup' app (in the System Setup folder) called 'USB Adapter Wave'. Make that the default Waveaudio device and sounds should come through your soundbar.

Hi Martin,

  The 5.0.x additions seem to work well here with VirtualBox 7.1.0 - thanks for pointing them out!

  One thing I found out by accident - if you try to open a 0 byte file on a shared folder, the system will freeze, so avoid that...

Martin,

  I tried the 5.0.x IFS with the 7.1 additions, but it didn't work (doesn't mount drives). So I guess I need to install the whole thing. Are you able to use multiple CPU's? with the 5.0.x additions? How about USB devices?

  The 7.1 additions for OS/2 allow shared folders, but you can't copy from the VirtualBox OS/2 guest to the host by using the WPS - only by command line. You can copy from the host to the guest by WPS though.

 Been using Paul's latest QT6 with Dooble successfully as a Win11 VirtualBox 7.1.0 guest in ArcaOS 5.1 for awhile, with Remy's script and acpi powerman disabled it works the best it ever has. But it is not perfect. Never had a system hang yet, rarely a Dooble hang, very occasionally a silent exit, but the biggest problem I see is having a web page (usually heavy javascript) stop rendering, the mouse scroll wheel stops working (although I can grab the scroll bar with the mouse and scroll) and one of the 4 CPU's will show 100% and pass that 100% back and forth among the 4 CPU's. The system keeps working no problem, but Dooble at that point is no longer usable and I have to close it.  Then start it again, go back to the same page and it works fine.

  Does this seems like some kind of 'timing' or 'deadlock' issue? I'm curious if anyone else sees this phenomenon, and wonder what might cause it.

Neil,

  Same thing here with a Win11 host. It works from a command line, but not with the WPS. Must be a defect in the VirtualBox IFS. Very annoying...

 Yeah, I ended up turning it off with the acpi.cfg file. It really helps the QT6 Dooble too. With ACPIDAEMON power control off and the script to change the priority (I've settled on SysSetPriority(3,10)), QT6 Dooble is very stable. Never get a system hang or silent exit. Very occasionally Dooble freezes, but can easily be killed from the WPS and restarted.

 EDIT: Tried creating a script for Otter similar to the one Remy made for Dooble, and it does help some, but still get a lot of SIGSEGV errors in WebEngineProcess and Otter. Is there ad blocking for Otter? I wonder if ads are killing it...
