[Windows XP] v2.7.0 (r170504-r170518) is broken (again)

[mm0359]

On Windows XP,

avidemux_2.7.0_r170429_win32.exe    Windows Executable    25.3 MB    Apr 29 2017 10:01 AM (cdb3bc7298b)
still starts and runs fine.

avidemux_2.7.0_r170504_win32.exe    Windows Executable    21.6 MB    May 4 2017 5:58 PM (?)

avidemux.exe / CancelIoEx / KERNEL32.dll
avidemux_jobs.exe / CancelIoEx / KERNEL32.dll

avidemux_cli.exe / GetNumaNodeProcessorMaskEx / KERNEL32.dll

NB: Core and x265 plugin.

PS:
I didn't try it on W.Vista, because mine broke and I couldn't fix it yet.

[mm0359]

Guessed culprit(s):
[mxe] update to new libs, incomplete
[build] update win32 nsi, some packages are missing

[eumagga0x2a]

These commits merely reflect the update of the MXE used to cross-compile Avidemux for win32 (32 and 64 bit).

[mm0359]

Agreed, these revs themselves are likely just hints.
The actual cause is probably outside the software tree, in the build/MXE setup.

[mean]

Qt5core is using cancelIoEx which is not available on xp

Indeed.



CancelIo function

   Windows XP [desktop apps | Windows Store apps]
Minimum supported server
   Windows Server 2003 [desktop apps | Windows Store apps]

CancelIoEx function

Minimum supported client
   Windows Vista [desktop apps | Windows Store apps]
Minimum supported server
   Windows Server 2008 [desktop apps | Windows Store apps]

Supported Platforms and Configurations

Any chance to limit Qt to 5.6, for win32, fttb? (Default or dedicated build.)

[mm0359]

Ftr,

Qt5Core.dll:

5.7.0.0:
avidemux_2.6.20_win32.exe
avidemux_2.7.0_r170429_win32.exe

5.8.0.0:
avidemux_2.7.0_r170504_win32.exe

NB:
5.7, though unsupported on WXP, would seem to still work (for ADM)...

seems tricky to go back

seems to be doable, we'll see if it works

You're al aware:

Indeed. So what?
People can (still) continue to use them, even (try) ReactOS for example.

seems to be doable, we'll see if it works

Thanks (for trying)!

To be explicit,
if you don't want to go back too far, it seems 5.7 would be enough (to (re)start with).
If you prefer officially/longer supported version, that would be 5.6.

[mean]

maybe ok

[mean]

seems to work except h265

[mm0359]

seems to work except h265

Confirmed,

Qt5Core.dll:

5.8.0.0:
avidemux_2.7.0_r170517_win32.exe
(Still broken.)

5.7.1.0:
avidemux_2.7.0_r170518_win32.exe
Seems to work: at least, it starts.

NB:
Indeed, latest Qt are 5.8.0, 5.7.1 and 5.6.2, which is a LTS ver..

[mm0359]

avidemux_cli.exe / GetNumaNodeProcessorMaskEx / KERNEL32.dll

NB: Core and x265 plugin.

Ftr,

libx265.dll, v2.1.0.0:
avidemux_2.7.0_r170429_win32.exe, 3,396 KiB.
avidemux_2.7.0_r170518_win32.exe, 3,556 KiB.

Fwiw, replacing the latter by the former seems to work: at least, it starts.
