I don’t know if the Zig compiler’s ability to
a) cross compile
b) compile C/C++
is of any use.
Thought I would mention it, fwiw.

A common suggestion to tangle this problem on cheap Arm boards is to preload jmalloc, which can make a big differences and probably would have allowed you to go with -j2
For the package that needed it (qtwebengine), I used docker based build environment. It seems to work well, so would stick to that for now. Thanks for a compiler reference!
Angelfish is now available at Chum. Don’t forget to install Maliit support for Opt Qt5 from Chum as well to use it.
Install may take a while as it will pull Qt 5.15 with it, including WebEngine. There are few bugs, such as copy-and-paste not working for me, settings not saved always (that one may get a fix soonish, have to dig into the code), and probably few others.
Webengine data:
Based on Chromium version: 87.0.4280.144
Patched with security patches up to Chromium version: 108.0.5359.124
Hi rinigus,
great, thank you for all the work! I am not able to find the Maliit support for Opt QT5 in Chum…
It’s pretty fast and awesome so far!
Its this: Show sailfishos:chum / qt-sfos-maliit-platforminputcontext - SailfishOS Open Build Service
PS: Note that it is not Application, but a “Package”. You may have to allow Chum GUI to show all packages.
Awesome, it passes cloudflare block too (at least for now)
Edit: add to homescreen works (removing it doesn’t though) and launches without UI where zoom works (text entry crashes though, I guess maliit is skipped?)
Actually zoom works also normally, just override dpi in qt runner, great stuff
You can get the options to stick by creating a file ~/.config/angelfishrc with something like:
[WebView]
webDarkModeEnabled=true
webSmoothScrollingEnabled=true
[NavigationBar]
navBarBack=true
navBarReload=true
Full list: lib/angelfishsettings.kcfg · master · Network / Angelfish · GitLab
Sounds good!, I’ve been wanting to play with Qt3D. Now to work out how to get Qt3D in/on my SDK install.
Is there a “dummies” guide for adding Qt modules to SDK?
Unselect ‘show only applications’ in Chum, then go to packets, then type ‘Platforminput’ into the search field, then it will come.
Works like charm on Volla, Thank you so much @rinigus !
Its a simple and fast browser !
Is there an option to make the text (font size) a little bit smaller? Are there config files to tweak some settings that are not available in the simple Angelfish settings menu?
Override dpi in qt runner, between 280-300 seems ok on XIII
It looks like we all prefer it to be a bit smaller. I wonder if I have to set DPI to something less than the one which proposed by default
Where is this ‘general’ setting of QT runner? I really would like to do some experiments!
Hmm, installing angelfish also created a ‘Qt Runner’ icon for me, is it missing on Volla? Under default settings there are a couple of options one can tweak (dpi, env variables, theme selection)
Yes, the Qt Runner icon is there on the app grid. Override DPI was unchecked, so I checked it and set the original 409 to new 251. Browser looks fine now, problem is solved. Thank you so much @throwaway69 !
It seems for me, that the new Qt Runner opens an option to run apps on SFOS that was not possible previously without the Qt Runner. Am I right? If yes, what other apps can I now install and run on SFOS phone?
Thank you: that worked out.
@rinigus brilliant. works really well. as others have mentioned, cloudflare seems less bitchy and with modest (dpi) setup changes, it’s killer! Thanks!
Ah, cool. WASM works better than I expected. Yipee!
