Hmm, are you sure it is a "crash" because typically a real segfault or abort can not be "caught" by Sigil at all, the program just exits immediately with no chance to save?
Was there a specific error message that is provided? Windows Qt goes have a bug that goes back a long long way where trying to delete or rename a file, causes problems when MD (or some other anti-virus program) has grabbed control of it and is still trying to "analyze" the file and will not allow you to delete, rename, of change it in any way causing an exception that can be caught by Sigil but results in Sigil saying it has to close. My guess is this is what you are seeing. We try to workaround this by retrying the delete/rename/change after a random interval but this is not always 100% effective, but works most of the time. Qt has had the bug reported but still have not fixed it. Although there have been some recent changes that should make the issue happen less often. If this ever happens again, please note the very last step you used, and grab a screen shot of any failure dialog. Thanks! |

I think I can make this pretty easy for you. I went home for lunch and had the latest Sigil beta running on Ubuntu Jammy (using the latest Qt6.7.2) inside of 20 minutes or so. The installation of an alternate Qt version is made easy with a Python module called aqtinstall. From there, it's simply a matter of telling cmake to use the newer Qt6 to build (and run) Sigil.
Give me some time to cobble together some sane instructions. |

You should have everything you need already except for the Python module aqtinstall. This module uses the same Qt repositories that the official Qt online installer uses, so there's nothing squirrelly going on.
Install the module from PyPi with: Code:
sudo pip install aqtinstall Then run: Code:
sudo aqt install-qt --outputdir /opt/qt6 linux desktop 6.7.2 -m qtimageformats qtshadertools qtwebengine qtpdf qtwebchannel qtpositioning Code:
cmake -G "Unix Makefiles" -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release -DCMAKE_PREFIX_PATH=/opt/qt6/6.7.2/gcc_64 <path to Sigil source> If everything completes successfully, you should be able to run: Code:
make Code:
sudo make install Last edited by DiapDealer; Today at 08:15 PM. |

There was no dump, Sigil just quits silently. The part about renaming rings a bell though. I will make note next time but its fairly rare.

Excellent instructions, just like magic I'm running 2.3.0! Thank you DiapDealer!
I'll start exercising it tomorrow... |
