Hello there,
First, thank you for any help. We were directed here from one of our members on the RetroPie forum. We have gotten windows 95 to run through the dosbox that comes stock with the RetroPie operating system for raspberry pi. We are having tremendous trouble with the graphics drivers and it is limiting what we can emulate. We would like to compile the powerful dosbox-daum for the ARMv7 architecture so that we can emulate a PCI slot and Vodoo card (we think this will solve our driver problems). So I've looked at compiling dosbox on windows wiki and I was wondering, how would it work using the GCC on the raspberry Pi's Jessie OS? I've never compiled before so I am a complete noob but I really appreciate the help if you could point me in the right direction.
The author of dosbox daum provides the source code at this site: http://ykhwong.x-y.net/
Our thread from the retropie forums is here: https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/9169/windows-95/17
If we are successful then we could open the 35$ computer to do a decent emulation of old greats like half-life, roller coaster tycoon and starcraft and that would be cool.
Thank you again for the help.
TLDR - How do you compile dosbox using GCC instead of the usual windows programs?
