Re: [Bino-list] Dual screen not working on windows

[Pedro Silva Pinto]

Hi Martin,

Glad to read back from you.
My working 1.6.0 version uses Qt 4.8.5.

I compiled again Bino 1.6.5 in Ubuntu and get same results whether I use Qt 4 
or 5: fullscreen works in single screen, despite having set dual screen mode.

I also compiled Bino 1.6.5 for windows (in Ubuntu 17.10 with MXE) following 
your README.WINDOWS file, but using Qt version 5 instead of 4. It compiles OK, 
installs on windows, but upon launching I get this error:

bino: [err] This application failed to start because it could not find or load 
the Qt platform plugin "windows"?in "".??Reinstalling the application may fix 
this problem.

Still, getting the same behavior on Ubuntu both with Qt 4 and 5 baybe an 
indication that the problem isn't related to the Qt version. I can make further 
tests, but need some guidance. :)
Cheers!

Pedro

Hi Pedro,

the project is not abandoned, but needs more developer time.

I do not use Windows and currently don't even have access to a multi-screen 
system, so I cannot really track this problem down.

However, there were no relevant source code changes between 1.6.0 and 1.6.1. In 
fact, the enter_fullscreen() function has not been changed in years. So my 
guess is it depends on the Qt version used. Maybe look into 
Help->About->Libraries to find out which Qt version your working
1.6.0 binary uses, and/or try to build with the latest Qt version.

Best,
Martin
