Re: How to create custom build for OS X?

Posted on 2010-12-07, 16:03

I realize that it seems to make no sense to edit the portfile when compiling svn, but the environment variables that you posted seem to point the ./configure process toward the MacPorts directories in /opt. When I run ./configure on the svn source, the resulting makefile includes the line: INSTALL = …

I think I may have made *some* progress on this, but not enough. In an attempt to create a portable dosbox with MacPorts, I used this command to edit the MacPorts port file: sudo port edit dosbox In the editor (I prefer nano, so I actually used the command sudo port edit --editor nano dosbox) I …

I followed your instructions about statically linking sdl, and successfully compiled it. The executable ran successfully. It produced this output: MacBook24:~ edward$ /Users/edward/test-trunk/src/dosbox ; exit; objc[43621]: Class SDLTranslatorResponder is implemented in both /opt/local/lib/libSDL …

No luck yet, I'm afraid. Before I could deactivate libpng, libsdl_net, and libsdl_sound, I had to use "port uninstall dosbox". That was all right with me, because I didn't want to use 0.73 anyway. I was able to compile svn after uninstalling dosbox. But when I deactivated libpng, libsdl_net, and …

OK, I think I'm beginning to see my way. But I'm not certain of which option to use. If I want to build an executable that won't use libpng and SDL_net (for example), do I use something like: ./configure --without-libpng --without-SDL_net [etc.] Or am I completely confused? Thanks again. And when …

OK - that explains a lot. Thank you again. I hope you'll let me exploit your knowledge a bit more. I'm working on this project mostly so that I can distribute it to other people, so I hope to make it reasonably portable. I know how to put together a PackageMaker installer that could install the …

Apologies for more questions: Is that why I needed to install MacPorts and "port install dosbox" before I could create a new executable? Because the MacPorts install added the libs? Thanks …

Update: I just downloaded what I think is the latest source from this link: http://dosbox.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/dosbox/dosbox/trunk/?view=tar And this compiled successfully, unlike the 31 October snapshot that I was using earlier. So I'm on my way to getting this right. A thousand thanks for …

First, I just tried it again with pure, untouched, newly-downloaded 0.74 release source, and I was able to make 0.74 release dosbox successfully (I was trying yesterday with source that I had messed with earlier). So the problem I've having is with the SVN source, not with your instructions, which …

I forgot to mention but you can just use macports to install dosbox. "port install dosbox" this will pull in all necessary libs and install/compile them in universal (meaning both 32 and 64bit) and compile dosbox 0.73 ... Once this is done you can also compile current dosbox or svn with the above …

You summed it up very thoroughly, as far as I can tell! Thank you. If there is any chance you could someday post a step-by-step guide on the Wiki, I'd be very grateful. Your post is probably all that an experienced expert will need, but some guidance about which libraries to download, where to put …

How to create custom build for OS X?

Posted on 2010-12-04, 16:43

Thanks to the generosity of the authors of DOSBox and other experts in the code, I've been able to create a custom build of the Windows version, with changes that improve its treatment of VGA text. I've searched the board for any advice on how to create a custom build for OS X, but I haven't found …
