hi dominus, thanks for replying. here is the output in detail: patch -p0

so, i tried to get this working on my own, but i really need some assistance here. i have already unpacked the source dosbox-0.74-3.tar.gz and also placed the dosbox-0.74-3-mt32-patch.diff in that folder (one level up the src folder). then started the terminal in dosbox folder and ran: patch -p0

@rcblanke: thanks for alpha5. regarding portability, i moved dbgl to its former location and upgraded it. when starting the new version, the layout returned to default setup. also, a hidden .dbgl folder is now created under home upon every start, still making it not as portable as before. forgot to …
