No, why would it matter how long it builds if nobody investigated and fixed bugs?
My computer is fast enough to build webkit in a reasonable timeframe and I think pulkomandys is too. Dunno about madmaxs computer.

I would suggest to just update to latest nightly. WebPositive works again, and BePDF has just been updated too (along with other apps).
A full build from scratch takes 2 hours on my machine. I have to do this from inside Haiku. I am not interested in doing this on a Haiku system running in a virtual machine on a server in the other side of the world. Also I don’t do full builds all the time, so when I’m testing simple changes it takes maybe 30 seconds to 1 minute.
And it still wouldn’t solve the main problem: I don’t have a lot of time to work on this, maybe a few hours every weekend.
Other people have slower/older machines than mine, but if you want to help them, I think it would be more interesting to send them a new computer than to give them access to a server.
have them reach out to me, I’ll see what i can do
Thank you, that worked perfectly
Thats why I suggested to inform the user what awaits them in my thread about “libshared explained”…
If user knows what awaits them, they will be careful and understand what to do. Update or not!?
Communication with the user or give Information about what is going on and what might happen keeps the user calm.
Also if you had informed user or the Press or Reporter beforhand, they would consider doing a review or an update, later, after Beta 4…
Hello. Yes, there is a way: during the boot process, if you press the space bar, or hold the Shift key, a boot menu will appear. On this menu, you can choose a previous state. You can get more information on this link:
Specific, on this part:
Hope this helps!
I’ve updated to the latest nightly and wifi is working.
Just takes some time to get things back to normal.
Xmas is coming…
what kind of things?
On my side Wifi got broken (see ticket 18064) and I do hope somebody manages to fix that as if not the case, I will have to use Beta 4 on VMs
No, just no. Releases are terribly obsolete and have a little meaning.
The real culprit is ELF executable format that mess symbol imports. PE, PEF and MachO have no such problems.
Tried updating BePodder yet? Because it was updated 2 days ago, just to address that issue.
To be fair, we’re trying to fix this. It’s why we have been striving to getting on a yearly beta release cycle.
R1/beta4 is just around the corner. I feel like the absolute bare minimum for R1 is improving the stability of WebPositive. Our browser needs to be world class at minimum before finalizing R1.
If it gets to the point where the Haiku team just ended up making a web browser on par with Chrome and Firefox, I’d vouch for it to be multiplatform.
WebKit is used by Safari on Mac and others. It’s already cross-platform. The catch is, we’re still using the same single-threaded version as MorphOS. Time has passed and a multithreaded sequel to it exists. The one WebPositive has is WebKit Legacy. To use the new WebKit would be a major ordeal in terms of time outlay and require more than one person working on it.
I need your color theme. It makes me infinitely happy.
These issues should be solved @bronzie94 … if you update and are still seeing them, please report on the haikuports bugtracker. BePodder might need a rebuild.
