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?

Bump! 
A lot of the packages for new apps are quite outdated and it seems impossible to install new software to keep up with the modern web...

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.

BUG - UPDATE:
1. first issue:
[c]git --clone[/c] errors.
Fix is here:
https://forum.slitaz.org/topic/problem-with-certificates
Summary:
(this will create the file, if it doesn't exist yet)
[c]echo "\
[http]
sslCAInfo = /etc/ssl/ca-bundle.crt" >> ~/.gitconfig[/c]
Note,
I also downloaded/compiled cacerts from source using the sourcecode provided at cacert package's project's homepage. (Not sure if that was necessary; can re-test after a fresh reboot.)
Now,
can successfully clone using git from github.

2. Second problem:
[c]$ qmake
QMAKESPEC has not been set, so configuration cannot be deduced.
Error processing project file: /home/tux/Downloads/gitclone_minitube/minitube/minitube.pro[/c]
As per current (2023-April) BUILD instructions from the minitube README.md state:
I first installed tazpkg -gi qt5
and some other packages which seemed similar to what was listed on the https://github.com/flaviotordini/minitube (main page README).
README instructions for minitube also state:
"...
Compiling:
qmake
make
"
So I go to follow those instructions.
But immediately upon running [c]qmake[/c] (from within the git-cloned directory),
it errors:
[c]$ pwd
~/Downloads/gitclone_minitube/minitube/
$ ls

Error processing project file: /home/tux/Downloads/gitclone_minitube/minitube/minitube.pro[/c]
#####
After some websearching for the first error about qmakespec, I ran:
[c]qmake -query[/c]
and got this:
[c]QT_INSTALL_PREFIX:/usr
QT_INSTALL_DATA:/usr/share/qt
QT_INSTALL_DOCS:/usr/share/doc/qt
QT_INSTALL_HEADERS:/usr/include
QT_INSTALL_LIBS:/usr/lib
QT_INSTALL_BINS:/usr/bin
QT_INSTALL_PLUGINS:/usr/lib/qt/plugins
QT_INSTALL_IMPORTS:/usr/lib/qt/imports
QT_INSTALL_TRANSLATIONS:/usr/share/qt/translations
QT_INSTALL_CONFIGURATION:/etc/xdg
QT_INSTALL_EXAMPLES:/usr/share/doc/qt/examples
QT_INSTALL_DEMOS:/usr/share/doc/qt/demos
QMAKE_MKSPECS:/usr/share/qt/mkspecs
QMAKE_VERSION:2.01a
QT_VERSION:4.8.7[/c]
At this point I'm a bit stuck.
It seems as if (from further websearching) I should add something to the project file (like minitube wasn't done right)... maybe i need to open a bugreport with minitube on their github issues page??

or is this a slitaz issue?
