nevermind, works now

I wasn't getting an empty page, maybe you should try again.
If you can't compile the libs, get some compiled ones. The Sources for Telejano include libpng.lib and libz.lib, you can download it from http://telejano.berlios.de

well, seems I got all the libs now, but I got a link error. maybe someone got an idea as to why?

here's what I got (Using Visual Studio .Net)
dosbox error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol "void __cdecl VGA_SetupOther(void)" (?VGA_SetupOther@@YAXXZ) referenced in function "void __cdecl VGA_Init(class Section *)" (?VGA_Init@@YAXPAVSection@@@Z)

Simple.
Add VGA_OTHER.CPP file to the project (it is in src/hardware).

Ahh, thanks a bunch. (means the VC_Net project needs a quick update 😉 )

heh, I must be missing something else now, I get an error 0x00000005 on the initialization. any idea?

to all the guys who helped me. thanks.

my build of version .60 on VC++6 is 1.6 Mb big!

how can i make it build into a much smaller size?

That's because you're building the DEBUG build, which is slow, clumsy, lots of unneccessary checking and no optimization. The warning message that you mentioned in earlier thread only happens with DEBUG build, it doesn't complain about it with RELEASE build. The RELEASE build I got with MSVC6 is ~580KB, which is ~200KB smaller than MinGW build. And, that's the CVS version.

how do i build release version?

Any ideas why I would get that crash on the initialization ?

I tried to debug it, but it doesn't even go in the debugger.

Someone told me one of the libs might have been badly compiled, and I remember reading about SDL and the need to compile it with specific settings in Visual Net... yet no one said what options 😉

so, any ideas?

I do not know what you problem is, but I can tell you about a few problems I used to have during the time I have worked with DOSBOX:
- try to delete dosbox.conf (format changes occasionaly and DOSBOX binary does not always work with incorrect configuration file - it directly crashes)
- try to use different DLLs (e.g. if you use SDL.DLL from DOSBOX binary release, then try to find different SDL.DLL on net and run your build with it). I used to have problem that it worked with one version/crashed with other (no idea why, it should not matter how DLL is compiled, only DLL interface should be important for program).

It should not matter how DLL is compiled, only DLL interface should be important for program

Compilation does matter, the dll has to be compiled to use the right runtime library (it should be Multithreaded-DLL for sdl.)
Dosbox should be compiled using the same rtl.

I'm closing this thread.
people who can't get dosbox compiling and ask questions about how to add a sourcefile to a project or how to change the configuration, Shouldn't bother getting dosbox to compile. It's way out of your leage!

DOSBox is actually fairly simple to compile. So do yourself a favor and remove visual C . You're not capable of using it.

Some people are capable of building it and I think if they run in to problems all the answers are in this thread.
