The Blue Warper

Found this piece of news (actually Aug. 2008) about a QT-based Mozilla port (basically developed for MAEMO):
http://browser.garage.maemo.org/news/10/

Maybe there's a newer version available today (I don't know).  It might be interesting to see a QT-based Mozilla app on OS/2, now that the QT 4.6.x port was done.  So I posted that.

It works, some times.  By that I mean some sites will appear while others just cause it to close without leaving any information.

Another thing, does anyone know how to import bookmarks without it closing?

Actually it writes a "popuplog" to stderr. I think I know what's going on. It's the javascript engine, that blows up.

Probably for the same reason as above. Please stay tuned for the next Qt update...

Hi Rudi,

How would you go about capturing that information and would it be of any use to you?

Hi Ivan,

you start it from a command line like this:

arora 2>err.log

If there is a line in the file that reads:

LIBC063 0:00053f6a

then, I don't need it ;-).

Hi Rudi,

Here is what I keep on getting on two sites:

SingleApplication: Unable to listen: "QLocalServer::listen: Unknown error 23"
main.cpp line 38  localServer failed to listen
terminate called after throwing an instance of 'std::bad_alloc'
  what():  std::bad_alloc

Killed by SIGABRT
pid=0x03fd ppid=0x0025 tid=0x0001 slot=0x00c2 pri=0x0200 mc=0x0001
G:\ARORA-0_10_2\ARORA.EXE
Process dumping was disabled, use DUMPPROC / PROCDUMP to enable it.

Hope it is of some help.

Ivan,

while your log looks somewhat different from what I get, I'm quite positive that as soon as
a new Qt version that fixes tickets 165..168 is released, we will get a quiet usable browser.

P.S.: Posting this with Arora using my local Qt build:

- "Unknown error 23" fixed -> start page visible, URL from command line accepted
- "@" appears in input fields (german keyboard)
- SSL enabled -> can login to eBay
- no crashes so far
