Running QtWeb as spot

July 20, 2013 — BarryK
I implemented QtWeb running as user spot, however ran into difficulties. Thanks to jamesbond who solved it, see our earlier discussion:

I have just now re-uploaded the QtWeb PET, that creates /usr/bin/unins000.exe when it installs (10.2MB):

I have implemented the offer to run QtWeb as spot in Woof:

This is just about to be tested. Surprise, surprise, I am planning to build the next Precise (5.7beta1) with two browsers builtin, SeaMonkey 2.19 and QtWeb. Both of these will be able to be run as spot, if you wish.

I think that I should be able to build and upload it tomorrow.
