Thanks, I got it to work after making symlinks to all the relevant libraries in /opt/local/lib/. I still would like to know what's wrong with my own build though.

And your build works with core=dynamic? Just to clarify, compilation works just fine, it's only when I try to run the dynamic core that I get "Illegal instruction". Well, let's compare notes then. I've installed all external libraries with Fink, and I've used no compiler flags or anything, just …

Okay, here are the config.logs from the two versions I have tried to compile.

As per this thread http://www.vogons.org/viewtopic.php?t=15762 I'm having trouble compiling the cvs source of DOSBox on OS X. When activating the dynamic core, it crashes on an illegal instruction. The same thing happens when I compile my own 0.70 from source, but not with the official binary. I …

Thanks, got it (the 0.70 source) to compile after some configure.in hacking, and it crashes with the dynamic core enabled, just like the cvs version. Are you sure you want all of the ./configure output? Well, here it is (Note: This is from running configure with the cvs source, not the 0.70 stable …

Well, just to add to the confusion: the 0.70 source won't compile. nullmodem.cpp: In constructor 'CNullModem::CNullModem(Bitu, CommandLine*)': nullmodem.cpp:102: error: invalid conversion from 'int' to '_TCPsocket*' nullmodem.cpp:102: error: initializing argument 1 of 'TCPClientSocket:: …

Yes, well, it runs with the dynamic core, and works up until the problem mentioned in the original post, those mysterious hangs.

No sorry, running in 32-bit mode, at least I assume that would be the default in 10.4. If anyone knows better, feel free to correct me. I'm no expert on those things. Something that was mentioned in the other thread led me to believe that the processor being 64-bit was what was causing the trouble …

Mac Pro (2 x 2 GHz Dual-Core Intel Xeon (64 bit), 2 GB RAM, OS X 10.4.9). The error message is "Illegal instruction".

This is probably answered in another thread too, but I'll be damned if I can find it: I can build DOSBox from cvs, but it will crash if I try to enable the dynamic core in the config file. Is this a known bug/limitation? Is there a workaround?

Apologies for not searching properly. Feel free to delete/close this thread.

I have been playing around with DOSBox 0.70 on a Mac Pro (2 x 2 GHz, 2 GB RAM, OS X 10.4.9) and I have a problem. Mainly I have been trying to play UFO: Enemy unknown/X-COM:Ufo Defense, and it seems that after about one hour, usually on the second tactical mission, the game hangs every time. The …
