Disabling sse2 in the configuration of Qt5 takes WebKit off the table, it seems. Sounds like a true deal-breaker for getting Sigil 0.7.x to run on older non-sse2 hardware.

This also affects XP running on processors like the AMD Athelon 2600+ |

Even Sigil 6 has to be patched and built specifically for non-sse2 processors. So while it might be nice to note that you can get Sigil 0.6.x to run on those machines, you're going to have to patch the source and custom compile it to do so. Not so easy for the average Joe on Windows.
I think it's probably best to just accept that any version of Sigil after (and including) 0.3, requires an sse2-capable processor (if you want to point & click install). |

@DiapDealer
Can you post the code you used to debug the error to the libQt5Webkit ? The Qt5 source can be installed from the offline.run file. I'm wondering whether the Qt5Webkit can be configured with SSE2 disabled. This is a learning curve for me. |

Perhaps (just perhaps) it would be possible to patch Qt5WebKit's source (similarly to how the xerces source was patched) to get Qt5WebKit to build without any SSE2 instructions, but that would be miles above my pay-grade. I think Sigil 0.7.x represents a line in the sand that your hardware is simply not going to be able to cross. |
