Hi all,

I want to compile the 32bit version of dosbox-x on Deepin 15.3 x64 (if you don't know the OS, it's based on a frozen version of Debian Sid). I've pulled it's repo from GitHub, but I don't see anything like this after running ./configure --help. So how can i do it?

P.S. the reason i want the 32bit version is Carmageddon. There are annoying vertical gray stripes all over the screen when running it in a 64bit DOSBox.

I've had issues with this too, only I'm on Manjaro, which is based on Arch. I kinda gave up on trying to compile a 32-bit DosBox build a while ago, and I almost wonder if I'd be better off installing a 32-bit OS with PAE just for it. 🤣

I did it, but couldn't find anything about it. Google can hardly find anything about Deepin. If i google on how to do it on a 64bit Debian, i couldn't find anything useful. If there's no other way, i will set up a vm for this after i manage to *run KVM again (it can create hard drive images, but can't access them) since all the Linuxes I've tried so far run much better in it than in VirtualBox or VMware (except for Android x86 and Remix OS).

A while back I switched to using Antergos on both my laptop and desktop, so I have a feeling I'll have an easier time trying this than I did before, since Antergos can actually use ABS.
