ln -s /usr/lib/libSDL-1.2.so.0 /usr/local/lib/libSDL-1.3.so.0

That should suffice, I think - they are binary compatible enough.

I already tried that, it seg faulted.

Oh. Well, since the other way round works, I will do the next build against 1.2, and ln -s my 1.3 to 1.2 😉

well fedora core does some nasty stuff usually.
not sure if you can use builds created on other linux distro's there.

I'll wait for the next build 😀

How often is that binary updated? its still linked to SDL 1.3 😢

Could have built it yourself by now 😜

indeed.

though, a few years ago when RPM packages came out i promised myself that i'll never complie code that isn't mine.

enough is enough, i don't want to spend my valuable time hunting down gcc problems, library incompatibilities, script bugs, 'configure' parameters, 'make' dependencies, linux distro differences and a million other fun stuff that usualy makes you spend 8 hours over someone elses source code.

i made this promise and i've kept it. if it doesn't come in RPM, then i'll ask for a binary. Since then, i've never been happier running *nix systems (Linux and FreeBSD).

I'M FREE!! 😁 😁 😁 😁 😁 😁 😁 😁 😁 😁

Well, if you read what I wrote on my homepage, you'd know that I only intend to update when I do a new build for myself. Which means between 2 weeks and 2 months. Sorry to say that... if you like, I can upload an all-in-one patch which is used to create my build, then you'll only have to do the well-known "./configure && make install" dance without hunting for patch conflicts and the like.

I'm on Windows rather than Linux, but I was able to set up an MinGW/MSYS environment (a huge pain in the ass to do though). Now I just have to do:

cvs -z3 update -d
/e/configure.dosbox
make && make install

To get a build of the latest CVS. This is of course without any patches, but it wouldn't be *too* hard if I wanted to apply one (for a while I was including Munt for MT-32 emulation in my CVS builds, then I got a real MT-32 and didn't need it any more).

i'm sorry, i didn't see that.

no worries, i'll wait around for a next build.

thanks!

HunterZ, it's not diffcult if there's only one patch, but even my own patches conflict with each other: hq2x and vesa. Conflicts can be a major PITA even if you know the code. My build has 4 conflicting patches, so it is already some work to get it right.

Moe: Ah, didn't know you had that much going on...

sehh, I have yupdated the build and compiled it against SDL-1.2.9 as shipped with gentoo. Minimum requirement is a pentium3 CPU.

Thanks Moe, i'll go try it right away!

WOW!

my cpu usage went from 90% down to 5-10% with 5000 cpu cycles running EOB3. I've now raised my cpu cycles up to 15000 (ten thousand more!!).

what can i say... just amazing... great work Moe!!! i dont know what you've done, but this is DOSBOX-ON-STEROIDS!!

PS:
does this version support any new parameters/options in the config file?

You should thank Kronuz 😀

Thank me for the features and Kronuz and gulikoza for performance. 😀 I just collected all of my patches plus two patches not from me and applied them.

To see what options exist, use z:\config -writeconf newdosbox.conf
