According to this page, Qt version 5.7 is no longer supported on Windows XP.
Even version 5.6 is not perfectly supported.
However version 5.5 is supported on Windows XP.
I think same is applicable for Qt WebEngine.
Anything that works for MS Windows XP should work on ReactOS.

If you find any problem that didn't occur on MS Windows XP but occured on ReactOS then please let us know.

(ReactOS needs your help to be more compatible with MS Windows XP.)
(I am not a ReactOS developer.)
(I have assumed your question and answered. Your question is not clear.)

It's a shame, that WINE have the goal to run any Windows program and ReactOS have stcked by the goal to run any Windows XP program.

Later people can port newer Qt5 (or Qt6) libaries and programs to ReactOS/WinXP like Haiku-developers doing it for their system
https://discuss.haiku-os.org/t/kde-fram ... -apps/6170

Ending up, that on Haiku running more programs, then on ReactOS.
For example there existing versions of Godot that runs on Haiku, but Godot have never run on ReactOS/WinXP

theuserbl : What universe do you live in?
If you are in my universe then you would understand that ReactOS is still in alpha state.
You would also understand that ReactOS is trying to achive full binary compatibility with MS Windows XP / Server 2003.
Do you even know that alpha software means not feature complete?
Do you have any idea how hard it is to reimplement a closed source OS?
Do you even understand that you could try to port those softwares on XP if you want?
Do you even know that Qt 6 is still a long way to go? (probably 2019)
Do you even know ReactOS project accepts patches?
If you are frustrated then cool down and think twice.
If you want to help then help.
Don't intensify confusion.

Now it's true several new standards don't support XP yet and maybe won't support at all.
But this project has a goal to recreate a full OS.
Not parts of it.
For Wine it's easy.
No low level programming for them.
ReactOS is not stuck with XP.
That is the current goal.
Newer versions of windows will be supported in future.
ReactOS itself must support hardware also.
So the most important goal is to get it to work.
When it does Qt 6 will support ReactOS.
If Qt doesn't we will port it.

Don't talk about Haiku.
ReactOS started on 'km' scale.
BeOS was 'cm' scale.
Now Haiku is on 'm' scale.
See. 'km' equals to 1000 'm'.
It was easy for Haiku because BeOS is long dead.
Remember Haiku is not BeOS.
It is a POSIX complaint OS.
So it's easy to port new standards.
Just C&C. (Click and Compile)
(not exactly)

Welcome to my universe.

Are you kidding?

Do you have looked at the user and its activities?

The main internet side of him is at
*removed*
The main github-side of him is at
*removed*

Beside the One-Core-API repo he have also this project
*removed*
with the description
"This is a modified Windows Research Kernel for Shorthorn Project"

Oh, yeah, the next one who publish the Windows Research Kernel. But he have modified it.

Have a look at this file
*removed*
there stand at the beginning
Copyright (c) Microsoft Corporation. All rights reserved.
You may only use this code if you agree to the terms of the Windows Research Kernel Source Code License agreement (see License.txt).
If you do not agree to the terms, do not use the code.
The interesting point is, there existing no License.txt in his repo.

Have a look at the repo of anybody other, who published the unmodified Windows Research Kernel:
https://github.com/markjandrews/wrk-v1.2
And there is a License.txt file in it:
https://github.com/markjandrews/wrk-v1. ... ICENSE.txt

The important parts of the license:
[...]

You may use and modify this software for any non-commercial purpose within
your educational institution, including making a reasonable number of copies.
Teaching, academic research, and personal experimentation are examples of

eligible users.

[...]


You may not use or distribute this software or any derivative works in
any form for commercial purposes. Examples of commercial purposes would
be running business operations, licensing, leasing, or selling the software,
or distributing the software for use with commercial products.

[...]

In return for the license rights above, you must agree to these obligations:

1. You will not remove any copyright or other notices from the software,
nor reverse engineer or decompile binary portions of the software,
unless your laws give you the right to do so despite this restriction.

2. You will include a verbatim copy of this license if you distribute
the software in any form.

3. If you distribute derivative works of the software in source code
form you will do so only under this license, and if you distribute
derivative works of the software solely in object form you will do so
only under a license that complies with this license.

[...]

10. Your rights under the license end immediately if you breach it
in any way.


At first, the Windows Research Kernel is only for non commercial use. That license is incompatible to the GPL! Looking at this source code means you are tainted, you can after that never be working neither on WINE nor on ReactOS.
But Skulltrail192 writes "This is a modified Windows Research Kernel for Shorthorn Project".
And the only code of the Shorthorn Project is the One-Core-API. So I inference, that he used code or information of the Windows Research Kernel for his One-Core-API.

Microsoft says in a lot of times in his license, that the license have to be added to every Windows Research Kernel and derivated works of it. Otherwise - if you don't do it - " Your rights under the license end immediately if you breach it in any way."
But Skulltrail192 gives a fuck for the license. He don't publish it. So I have to assume, that not all code of the One-Core-API sources is done on the legal way.


There are a lot of people, who are not interested in the license.
Some people at betaarchive.com have published modified sources of the leaked WinNT4 and Win2000 sources
*removed*
And they have had also published its illegal code on github.

If you search on GitHub at "OpenNT" you will find still illeagal forks of it.

And I say, that Skulltrail192 is an additional people, who no matters if it is legal or not.

Hmmm...
Tell that to 'ROCKNROLLKID'.
I just told you to use it if you like.
I did not use it. I only found the idea to be nice.
As I was confused I gave the link to his post.
So thanks for the reply.
My previous post was a suggestion which was not ReactOS related in anyways.
It was my own opinion that you could use it.
So it was a personal opinion.
I take full responsibility for my previous post on this topic.
That's all.

Anyone else reading this, please don't use the github link.

Back to topic.
