not resolved

Hello everyone; after many struggles and with some help from the community I got Slitaz 5 to install on an old netbook, 32 bit (intel atom).
I tried to install SMTube, but it's stuck on an old version that doesn't let you choose the new homepage.
I tried to convert a deb package and it installs, but it seems to be missing libqtwebkit; the version available on repos is 4.8.7, whereas smtube needs v5.
Can anybody help on this?

I tried to see if if I could direct message here but it seems this forum doesnt offer this. And dunno if this is frowned upon to suggest other distro, so if in appropriate let me know and it wont happen again.
I also have old 32-bit system and slitaz is definitely the fastest distro I can find, but like you software is getting too old, for me its mainly glibc I run into being too old, if you tried to built qt 5.12 i bet you'd run into that problem.
It seems to me only 32-bit distro with new stuff these days is debian. I installed debian bullseye minimal and built moksha window manager (e17 fork) and minitube 3.7 as a test, seems to work well, maybe would be useful for you...

Hey Enigma9o7, I really appreciate your suggestion!
I don't think anybody will be annoyed by your reply :) I tried to open the Bodhi link but I may need to register.
Your approach seems interesting and I definitely wanna they it!
Out of curiosity, how did you get to run minitube on a 32 bit install, now that Flavio Tordini (minitube developer) doesn't support it anymore?

Link should be fixed now, you were right it required registration but that was a mistake.
Minitube 3.7 works fine. There is nothing complicated to build from source. All the needed packages (including QT version 5.15) are available in bullseye repository, and the list of build dependencies provided on minitube github is correct (except dont need qt5-default package).
Minitube 3.6.1 is in bullseye repo, but that version does not work with youtube anymore. I emailed debian package maintainer and suggested he updated before bullseye package freeze (this month!).
What I did was install the minitube package first (to setup menu and icon etc) then after git clone qmake;make;sudo make install right over top of it, works fine, and if/when package maintainer updates it I should update overtop I think.... intheory.
