After coreaudio was fixed in CVS the only problem I had was with the inclusion of malloc.h in libserial.cpp. When I exchanged that include with stdlib.h it finished building. I opened a bug report in the tracker about this.

he he, this was not fixed after all, but just my local copy that was fixed 😀
I added a patch to the patch tracker for this 😀

I needed toset the following environment variables to make it properly compile:
CFLAGS='-O2 -arch i386' CPPFLAGS='-I/opt/local/include' CXXFLAGS='-O2 -mdynamic-no-pic -arch i386' MACOSX_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET='10.6' CXX='/usr/bin/g++-4.2' F90FLAGS='-O2 -m32' LDFLAGS='-L/opt/local/lib' OBJC='/usr/bin/gcc-4.2' FCFLAGS='-O2 -m32' INSTALL='/usr/bin/install -c' OBJCFLAGS='-O2 -arch i386' FFLAGS='-O2 -m32' CC='/usr/bin/gcc-4.2'

so, now I'm back in business of compiling Dosbox CVS 😀

thanks. Missed the notification for the patches as gmail put the sf.net emails in the spam folder.

gmail rules 😀

Is stdlib.h more cross-platform than malloc.h? Then I'd just use that.

That's what autoconf checks are for, not? Besides that gcc 4.x (dunno what
version exactly) has gotten a header cleanup so you now have to specify the
exact header (might not be relevant here).

No problem, there was no hurry :)Even though gmail's spam recognition is quite good, I fond a couple of SF and mailinglist emails in the spam lately...

Is stdlib.h more cross-platform than malloc.h? Then I'd just use that.

dunno, just googling malloc.h os x was giving me the option to either specify the full path to malloc.h, delete the include or, for better compatibility, to replace it with stdlib.h. Setting the full path and deleting it didn't make it compile, replacing it did 😀

according to the manual page for malloc, stdlib.h is needed as include

grrrr... on OS X, the German keyboard layout doesn't seem to want to work correctly. \ is not happening, the combination of alt+strg+ß doesn't work 🙁
(SDL issue most likely...)

another issue I have run into with the CVS:

When I run Windows 3.1x above 256 colours, the colours have an heavy orange tint. The release version of dosbox 0.73 does not have this issue. I'l try now if this is an issue of Snow Leopard compiled versions or if this is a general CVS issue...

Here is a nice apple script that lists all my dosbox config files in a directory and lets me choose one for starting Dosbox with (if I don't choose one, but hit cancel, then I'm starting Dosbox without specifying the config file, thus starting it with the default). Very convenient for someone like me who doesn't want to use frontends 😀

1set the_list to ""
2set nl to ASCII character 10
3tell application "Finder"
4	set file_list to name of every file of folder "Macintosh HD:users:dominus:documents:dosbox" whose name ends with ".conf"
5	repeat with entry in file_list
6		set the_list to the_list & nl & entry
7	end repeat
8end tell
9set optionen to (choose from list file_list with prompt "DOSBox plays today")
10if optionen is not false then
11	do shell script "/Applications/DOSBox.app/Contents/MacOS/DOSBox -conf /users/dominus/documents/dosbox/" & optionen as string
12else if optionen is false then
13	do shell script "/Applications/DOSBox.app/Contents/MacOS/DOSBox"
14end if

This uses the official release of Dosbox (my own copy points to the CVS version of Dosbox).
If anyone wants to use it on their own machine, you need to adjust paths in the lines

1set file_list to name of every file of folder "Macintosh HD:users:dominus:documents:dosbox" whose name ends with ".conf"

and

1do shell script "/Applications/DOSBox.app/Contents/MacOS/DOSBox -conf /users/dominus/documents/dosbox/" & optionen as string

Maybe if I have time, I'll add this to the Wiki for advanced Mac usage 😀

Good idea, please do so. 😀

Just added a cleaned up version of this script to the Wiki at a new page I made for this http://dosbox.com/wiki/Mac_OSX_Advanced
I'm not sure whether this should just be in the OS X page...

And especially not sure whether people will actually understand a word I wrote 😀
