Operating System, compiler version might help you get an answer 😀

Sorry,

i work with different systems but always micrsoft, w2k winxp home and prof.
i use mingw and msys latest version, sdl 1.2.9 and no sdlnet.

I work with dosbox and some old siemens simatic s5 software, for this i need
direct serial, i use the last cvs and it works perfect.
Now i have to use some visualization software with F11 and F12 key in the dosbox. For this i compile the dosbox0.63 code with the bios_keyboard.cpp from Cyberwalk and it work, but there is no direct seriall in 0.63.
I think is it possible to use the last cvs code with the change from cyberwalk, but is it not possible for me to compile the cvs sourcecode.

peter

hmm f11 and f12 should work in the cvs. Which cyberwalk bios_keyboard.cpp are you talking about ?

did you run ./configure before make ? (and if there is no configure, did you run ./autogen.sh ?)

i tested f11 f12 again with the last cvs but it works not.
sorry bios_keyboard.cpp is from cyberwalker and not cyberwalk.
Return F11/F12 and more keys to DOS applications

i am not very experienced with compiling and don`t know if all i do is correct.

i have an mix from 0.63 code and cvs code, configure runs and make runs but with error GCC_UNLIKELY' undeclared (first use this function)

when i use only the cvs code and run ./autogen.sh
$ ./autogen.sh
Generating build information using aclocal, autoheader, automake and autoconf
This may take a while ...
./autogen.sh: aclocal: command not found
./autogen.sh: autoheader: command not found
./autogen.sh: automake: command not found
./autogen.sh: autoconf: command not found
Now you are ready to run ./configure.
You can also run ./configure --help for extra features to enable/disable.

and ./configure not runs

peter

weird.
could you do

1ls -l configure*

hello,

$ ls -l configure*

you need mingw-devel or something like that.
or download
http://pcnwstage.phys.rug.nl/dosboxcvs.tgz
and use that source as a starting point.

i have an mix from 0.63 code and cvs code

why is that?
Best do as qbix said and use a recent cvs snapshot and try to compile that. If you are backporting features from 0.63 (I can't imagine what has been left out from that in CVS) do that in small steps to learn where that fails.
Make sure you've got the latest mingw/msys stuff from http://mingw.sourceforge.net/download.shtml#hdr2
Also get the mingwport stuff from there to be up to date with autoconf, automake...
The candidate stuff works fine for compiling dosbox (for me at least)

Hello Qbix,

thank you for your help.
But i don't now what's wrong, it's still not possible for me to compile the cvs code.
With the orginal 0.63 code i do ./configure und then make and all works fine.
With the code from your link http://pcnwstage.phys.rug.nl/dosboxcvs.tgz ./configure runs and after make there are a lot oft errors.
Is there something wrong or missing in my compiling enviroment?
I thought it is the same to compile the 0.63 code or the cvs code.

What is with the zlib.h in the first line, i cannot find it.

the errors after make:

peter

well you need a few libs to compile dosbox
(as mentioned in the INSTALL file)
You seem to be missing zlib
Not sure if that one is mentioned. The zmbv code is relatively new.

Hello,

i found the zlib stuff.
now it is possible to compile and all works fine, including the change for F11/F12.

Thanks a lot for your help.

Peter
