Hi,
after setting up Qubes R4.1 Alpha on a new laptop I found that my
old, restored Windows Qubes would not work anymore with R4.1, the
reason being the updated qrexec protocol (from version 2 to 3).
During my research on the mailing list I stumbled upon the
qwt-crossbuild project by tabit-pro that addresses this and other
issues. Unfortunately the software did not compile right out-of-the
box. I have made some minor changes and created a github repo with
the updated version:
https://github.com/uiskla/qwt-crossbuild
I made essentially the following minor changes:
* Specified to use Fedora 32 (instead of latest, which is probably
33) for the Docker image build
* Removed some conflicting packages in the Dockerfile
* Added a patch to remove header annotations not understood by
mingw and added that to the SPEC file
With these change I have successfully built a .msi installer and
tested that with Windows 7 VMs and DVMs. GUI, qrexec, seamless mode
etc. seem to work fine. I have sent a pull request to tabit-pro but
have not received an answer yet (probably because of the holiday
season).
If you want to rebuild, here are some hints:
* I have cloned the standard Fedora 32 template for devel VM
* I have followed the steps to install Docker from the Fedora
documentation
* The devel VM must be converted to HVM so that it is possible to
re-enable cgroup v1 for the kernel (needed by Docker on Fedora)
* Then follow the steps from the Readme.md in the repo
Kind regards
Peter

Hi,
You should have a look to
https://qubes-os.discourse.group/t/testing-windows-and-qwt-in-r4-1/1143/37.
Especially this comment
https://qubes-os.discourse.group/t/testing-windows-and-qwt-in-r4-1/1143/29?u=fepitre.
I've discussed yesterday with @easydozen, we will focus our efforts on
Qubes components which will at the end result in the same "tool" when
we build the final RPM for QWT.
Best,
Frédéric
Hi,
thanks for the pointer, I missed that thread. Actually I have solved the
compilation problems independently in a slightly different manner. I
have also not encountered any of the seamless mode problems with Windows
7 - I just tested it again, it works perfectly with Windows 7 DVMs (eg.
opening Word attachments from Thunderbird in a DVM). I have created the
Windows 7 template VM with the excellent qvm-create-windows-qube.sh
script using the ISO from my build process to automatically install QWT
(note: slight change to the windows mgmt VM necessary, a script needs to
be changed to use the .msi from the crossbuild process instead of an .exe).
I know that the QWT tools need to be adapted to Windows 10 (especially
the video driver) and that USB is missing from qwt-crossbuild, but don't
really have expertise here. I just wanted to help others like me who
want use Windows (D)VMs with Qubes R4.1. I plan to test it with a
Windows 10 automated installation using the qvm-create-windows-qube.sh
script again in the next weeks.
Kind regards
Peter
