It needed a basic fix: https://github.com/joncampbell123/dosbox-x/issues/209, but it finally compiled.

Copy code to clipboard 1 dpkg -l | grep libstdc++ | grep dev 2 ii libstdc++-5-dev:amd64 5.3.1-14ubuntu2 amd64 GNU Standard C++ Library v3 (development files) So it looks like it is installed.

Could anybody help me with compiling this thing on ubuntu 16.04? As per "INSTALL" I think I've installed every single libsdl that's required by dosbox but neither vanilla 0.74 dosbox nor this fork doesn't want to compile. I've also tried apt-get build-dep dosbox since dosbox is in the official repo …
