I was trying to use DOSBox-X to debug a program [1] but when I used the log command to create a CPU trace, all it does is create an empty LOGCPU.TXT file, and no trace is generated. I am using the latest provided DOSBox-X binary, that I know of; specifically dosbox-x-vsbuild-win64-20221226190454.zip downloaded from Github.
My steps were, open the debugger, enter the log command, followed by run after which I ran the program in the normal DOSBox-X shell. Nothing showed up in the trace file. Am I doing something wrong, or is this feature missing from the provided DOSBox-X build? How do I use this feature?
[1] More specifically, I want to trace the execution of the CauseWay extender, for which I don't have many useful other tools than in-emulator debuggers, that I know of. If something other than DOSBox-X internal debugger is useful, I'm all ears.
