What environment is used to compile official DOSBox releases?
I ask because I would like to setup similar if not the same environment to compile my own DOSBox from CVS, test out patches, make hacks and such.
Thank you in advance. 😁
mingw crosscompile from linux, maybe you even find more information
about the actual settings on the forum
You mean this?

Mine:
install mingw (MinGW-3.1.0-1.exe)
install msys (MSYS-1.0.10.exe), point it to the mingw directory if asked
install msysDTK (msysDTK-1.0.1.exe)download sdl sources (SDL-1.2.11.zip) and extract somewhere
goto sdl directory:
./configure
make
make installdownload dosbox sources (clean cvs here)
goto dosbox directory:
./autogen.sh
./configure --prefix=/what/ever/you/like
make
make installWorks just smooth. Simply works, ever did.
Does it also provide ddraw output in DOSBox?

kind of 😀
I think for ddraw I needed to change the SDL sources, so ddraw comes before windib or so, can't remember correcly right now.
For DDraw output, I only needed to put the ddraw.h header file from the DirectX SDK in an include folder where MinGW can find it. When you run the ./configure, you should see messages like "checking for ddraw.h... yes" if it can be found.
As dominus says when compiling sdl you should modify the sources so the
ordering of windib and ddraw is changed, or use the sdl.dll from the 0.72 release.

No, wd meant that a linux pc compiles the windows executable using cross-compilation.
Water flows down the stream
How to ask questions the smart way!
I understood that, I was referring to his remark about more information about the actual settings.
I was more thinking about the actual compile flags that Qbix uses for the releases,
think he posted them somewhere.
Anyways the files you posted seem to make up a good start (plain mingw
installation mostly) so it should get you an executable hopefully 😉
