I progressed (give a try on python 3.12)

Now, trying to download a video, I have:

YouTube extraction without a JS runtime has been deprecated, and some formats may be missing. See  https://github.com/yt-dlp/yt-dlp/wiki/EJS  for details on installing one

Will it work with python 3.9 ?
How to safe install python 3 without disturbing python 2 under arcaos v5.1.1 with valid Arca noae support ?

Sure. First try python --version to see what you have installed, here,
Code: [Select]
H:\tmp>python --version
Python 3.13.2
if you need to install Python3, IIRC, "yum install python2.7 python3" then "yum update"

Hi,

I was at python 2.7.6
I run suggested commands and it ended correctly.
After update, I have python 2.7.18 + 3.9.21

Rum mediadownloader and this time, I've got a message telling min supported python version is 3.10 ! So, this version is unsupported by Arca Noae support...
I think the the readme into mediadownloader should be updated including minimum requirements about python 3.10 and cmd line to upgrade from python2 to python 3.


python 3.12 is on experimental repository !
I suppose

Quickly looking. It is a Qt app, which we support. It has a dependency on OpenGL, which we don't have (well a really old one) so without it, no 3D support. The killer is it mentions a Rust Crate. We don't have a Rust port and it might not be possible to build with Rust on 32 bit platforms due to lack of memory. Whether the Rust is a hard dependency or not is not obvious but likely is.
Bed time here, might look better at it tomorrow.

A question to the C++ programmers:

Is it technically possible to port LibrePCB to OS/2? Do we have the necessary prerequisites for this? Or would the effort be excessive...

Working on time support. Downloaded tzdb and did some editing of the makefile. There are a lot of options but first step is compiling.
The problems I've run into is first a static vs non-static problem,
Code: [Select]
c99 -DHAVE_GETRESUID=0 -DHAVE_GETEUID=0 -DHAVE_ISSETUGID=0   -c -o localtime.o localtime.c
localtime.c:388:1: error: static declaration of 'issetugid' follows non-static declaration
  388 | issetugid(void)
      | ^~~~~~~~~
In file included from private.h:266,
                 from localtime.c:16:
M:/usr/lib/gcc/i686-pc-os2-emx/9/include-fixed/unistd.h:525:6: note: previous declaration of 'issetugid' was here
  525 | int  issetugid(void);
      |      ^~~~~~~~~
make: *** [<builtin>: localtime.o] Error 1

I can remove the static but then get a duplicate symbol error,
Code: [Select]
c99 -o zdump -DHAVE_GETRESUID=0 -DHAVE_GETEUID=0 -DHAVE_ISSETUGID=0 -Zexe -Zomf -Zhigh-mem -Zmap zdump.o localtime.o strftime.o -lintl
weakld: H:\tmp\ldconv_strftime_o_8da5696ed544186c40.obj - error: Duplicate symbol '_issetugid' ('_issetugid').
weakld: H:\tmp\ldconv_localtime_o_8da5696ed544184d00.obj - error: Symbol previously defined in this module.

Even if and when I get it built, have to figure out how to install/use it

Hello Dave

I created this repo: https://github.com/OS2World/APP-SCIENCE-XTide
Let me know if you think that way is fine (the program and the library), otherwise, just delete the files and set it as you like it.

Also, a quick tutorial on how it works would be appreciated just to test it out.

Regards

It's fine. At first I had git problems much like earlier. Went down the rabbit hole of restoring backups and screwing around. On that install, the latest libc update broke git.
Ended up using a different install and things work. Still can't update git due to a CVS dependency with no cvs.rpm. Need to open a ticket but github has become so hard to use on OS/2.

Both dooble5 and dooble6 work here too, but they are slower than firefox and still less stable.  Thanks.

Hello Steven

The OS2World server implemented a new firewall and some changes on a apache-mod for blocking the bots.

EDM/2 is hosted by Netlabs. Adrian will have to check on that. On my side EDM2 is working with the Dooble browser, I don't know if you want to give it a try. "yum install dooble".

Regards

I just noticed that anubis seems to be preventing me from accessing edm2 with firefox and seamonkdy.  Did I miss a setting somewhere?  If not, can the same fixes that are used for os2world be applied to edm2?

Applications / IRIT - Modeling Enviroment
« Last post by Martin Iturbide on January 19, 2026, 03:54:32 pm »
Hello

This is a little subject I want to share with you. It is not important as far as I can tell, but I want to let it documented just in case.

"IRIT is a freeform geometric modeling environment that allows one to model general freeform surfaces' based models as well as polygonal objects, and use Boolean operations on both."

The IRIT modeling package is free for noncommercial use and it is copyrighted to Gershon Elber. It is not open source under one of the common licenses.

Long time ago (1997), someone ported IRIT 7 and shared the binaries with the source code. I have the source code that contains an OS/2 makefile here: https://github.com/OS2World/APP-GRAPHICS-IRIT

The modern source code is still available (free for noncommercial use) here: https://gershon.cs.technion.ac.il/irit/irit-sm.zip

I got a request to delete the source code since it is old. (Current version is 13)
-- https://github.com/OS2World/APP-GRAPHICS-IRIT/issues/1

I have to comply to that, since it is not traditional open source software. I will turn the repository private. I'm just notifying this, just in case someone think there is something useful on the source code OS/2 port.

I don't know how to use IRIT, I just can tell it is a command line tool, but it has some PM app to viewing 3D models (I guess).

Regards
