yoe kiosk browser with qt5 #14

Closed cryptobharathi closed 1 week ago

cryptobharathi commented 1 week ago

I have a project requirement to use light weight web browser with qt5, which can run with eglfs/wayland backend. Finally i plan to choose yoe kiosk browser, but it looks, it uses qt6. Is there is any option that "yoe kiosk browser " can be build with qt5, looking for suggestions.

Thanks and Regards, Bharathi

I've never tried, but I suspect there will be quite a few QML changes to backport to qt5 -- may be possible, but you may lose a few features.

I'll close this for now as I don't think this is anything this project can help with as qt5 is not in our roadmap. You are welcome to reopen or leave additional comments if you like.

It used to work ok with qt5 a year or so ago so you might be in luck if it works today unmodified you can take an older snapshot that might help

@kraj and @cbrake Will check your suggestions, Thanks for sharing the details.

Great idea @kraj -- I checked the Yoe Distro changelog, and it looks like we switched from Qt5 to Qt6 around 2023-06:

https://github.com/YoeDistro/yoe-distro/blob/master/CHANGELOG.md#202306---2023-06-30

However, the first commit for the Yoe Kiosk browser was July 12, 2023, so we must have started that project after we switched to Qt6.

I think this is the project we used before that on Qt5:
