The qt5 package for ARM 32bit have that option added to its environment setup script, so this issue should now be fixed.

If anyone is instrested, Chromium-ungoogled 102.0.5005.115 package for Slackware Armv7 is avalible.
Sorry to say i have not bothered to compile Chromium as i only use Chromium-ungoogled, due to the compile time.
Enjoy

I am and thank you for your effort. This is saving me the 46+ hours build time.

Despite Exaga supplying the 64bit kernel for kernel, I found my system to be really slow. The 32 on the other hand just runs so well and I much prefer having the stable release, your browser build just completes it.

Depending on how you're using the RPi, don't forget you can set the 'gpu_mem=' setting in the config.txt file to allocate the available RAM. I always have mine set at 'gpu_mem=32' because I rarely use the desktop. Gotta say Slackware AArch64 on the RPi4 is pretty damned quick.

Thanks for the reply. I setup up the config.txt in my usual manner but I'll reinstall and see. I am sure its either me or my hardware

Some reasons why i will be sticking with Slackare ARM 15.0 (32 bit)
As the RPI 4 i have with 4 GB Ram (512 MB used for GPU) i dont really see any reason to use 64bit even thow the cpu suports ARMv8.
There is as far as i know (What i have read) no Widevine for Aarch64, solution is to use 32bit version from chromiumOS.
So i am guessing one has to have multilib on Aarch64 to be able to run Widevine 32bit in 64bit system? (As i understand, this is the official solution for RPI)
https://github.com/raspberrypi/Raspb...4bit/issues/11
This also means that one has to have a 32bit chromium web browser installed anyway in order to be able to view DRM streams.

So, i will be sticking with Slackware ARM 15.0 as long as i can.
Happy with my setup, the system and programs are stable and reliable after some patches, updates and tweeks =)

Packages that i patched as described on my github, glibc
And upgraded python3 to 3.9.13

Sure thing. As always, each user will have to do some tinkering and find the most suitable balance for their test-case/usage.

The reason why I say Slackware AArch64 is pretty damned quick, and what I'm basing it on, is the increase in compiling times on the RPi4 [4GB] compared to Slackware ARM 15.0. For example, on the same machine, running Slackware ARM 15.0 it'll build 'google-go-lang_1.17.9' pkg in approx. 35 minutes, and when running Slackware AArch64 the same pkg will build in approx. 25 minutes. I use the same SSD storage drive and have a 8GB /swap partition on both OS.

I am recharging and refreshing my chromeboook now - I think a nice ungoogled chromium will be a good match to my ungoogled asus ;-)
Thanks!

It was absolutely my hardware. I purchased a new SSD and that did wonders
