Hello. I downloaded v0.61 MacOS X port from http://dosbox.sourceforge.net/download.php?main=1 ... I decompressed the archive and ran dosbox file. It keeps giving me:

There is no default application specified to open the document "dosbox".

Then I opened Terminal and tried to run it by typing ./dosbox but got: dyld: ./dosbox can't open library: /usr/local/lib/libSDL-1.2.0.dylib (No such file or directory, errno = 2)
Trace/BPT trap

and a crash dump:

Lastly, I tried using OroborOSX's xterm and running dosbox with "open dosbox":
2004-04-24 02:47:22.384 open[906] LSOpenFromURLSpec() returned -10814 for application (null) path /Users/ant/download/dosbox.
2004-04-24 02:47:22.384 open[906] Couldn't open file: /Users/ant/download/dosbox

Any ideas what's going on? I have all the newest updates for MacOS X 10.2.8 on this one year old PowerBook G4 1 Ghz (15" and 512 MB of RAM). Thank you in advance. 😀

It seems that the dosbox executable is not marked as "executable".

Then I opened Terminal and tried to run it by typing ./dosbox but got: dyld: ./dosbox can't open library: /usr/local/lib/libSDL-1.2.0.dylib (No such file or directory, errno = 2)

It seems that you don't have libsdl. Try going here http://www.libsdl.org and find a version for your os.

Anyway, maybe both errors are related. I don't know. I don't have a Mac either so don't get angry if I'm wrong 😀

Not to bump an old thread, but I just installed DOSBox on my G3 with 10.2.8 just to run a copy of my BBS on the Macintosh. Of course DOSBox won't start. Started doing some Google searching and found I need at least Leopard on my G3 for that. However without XPostFacto4 I can't run anything over MacOS X 10.2.8... Besides I don't have Panther, but I do have a copy of Tiger that came with an old iMac, I ended up using for parts. Maybe I'll use XPostFacto4, and install Tiger just once to try it out on my G3.
