Kitty on 64bit wine

Open Npeca75 opened this issue 1 year ago • 5 comments

hi @cyd01

i like to thank you for your work. Using KITTY every day, and, yes, using it under linux as portable exe. It has many advantages against PUTTY so i don't want to switch and i already have dozen of sessions/settings under KITTY

My problem is with wine. It is obvious that 32bit wine will be soon or later completly disabled. Even if i manage to install 32bit wine on *buntu with many dependencies problem, it will eat 1 GB space on HDD, and those i386 libs ... well, not so pleasant situation

so, question is, is there any chance to kitty become 64bit once ?

tnx in advance

Did you test the 64bits beta version ? I need some feedbacks on it.

Thank you for quick response I tried to download release .zip file, and could not find kitty64 nowhere at least, according to ccpp.yml, there should be kitty64 did i miss something ? if you provide me link to file, i will gladly test under 18.04 / 20.04 wine64 thank you

ok @cyd01

i managed to (partly) build kitty64 with gcc-mingw-w64-x86-64 on ubuntu 20.04 partly, because after succesfull kitty_uncompressed.exe the build was failing on rest of helper programs

but ... on the bright side kitty64 is working under 18.04 / 20.04 it could read all session file from 32bit release it could SSH with PPK key i tried it against Linux / OpenWRT and some TP-LINK Jetstream switches with diffie-helman so far so good

again, could you please provide full 64bit tarball, because i am unsuccesfull in compiling full suite

... and, one regression with this beta

please look at the pictures when KiTTY recognize URL then it is translated to underscore txt but problem is:

  1. underscore does not stop at the end of a string !!!
  2. when there is many http:// (underscored text) on screen, KiTTY start to lag, cpu raise to 100% and response is one keystroke every second :(, almost unusable it will continue this heavy CPU load until last underscored line is gone

kitty1 kitty1b

once there is no more URL on screen, response and CPU is normal & fast :) kitty2

hi @cyd01

ok, after messing with build (my mistake) i was finally able to build both version 76 and 76b

in both version, problem with URLs are present but after disabling hyperlinks in INI, things are fine

tested under 20.04 64bit wine main program, working, all old sessions are opening without problem. Even the god damn Jetstream TP-LINK switches are working fine with ppk kscp working, i was able to drag & drop file under wine kittygen has loaded all my old keys without problem

LGTM
