WP-34s - emulator on Debian bullseye Linux - ArneStolti - 05-21-2023 05:20 AM
Dear Co-calculator lovers, since I'm a fan of the WP-34s and WP-31s (and I admire the work of Pauli, Walter and Markus very much) I usually use these calculators in real HW and (with different displays - you know) also on my desktop comps at work and at home with the emulators under Linux64.
My newer Debian Linux (Bullseye) doesn't seem to support QT4 any more - so does this mean no more emulators on this OS, or is there a workaround? (Is it possible to copy the qt4-library into the Wp3s-folder or something?) Can someone more skilled (Pascal maybe) solve this for me please, or at least give me a hint? Many thanks in advance.

Honestly, the best I can suggest is making the effort and porting the emulators to the new OS and contributing back to the project.

I have planned to port to a recent Qt as Qt4 creates problems with MacOS too but so far my real work has prevented me to work on it.
I may have more time in June.

Thanks, Pascal, I'm looking forward to it.

There's a port for Android which works pretty well and may eventually help on the effort for porting to modern versions of Qt. Here: https://github.com/odkq/awp34s
