I've managed to follow the DOSBox Wiki's instructions on building DOSBox (http://dosbox.sourceforge.net/wiki/index.php? … =BuildingDOSBox) - which I've added to a bit BTW. I've also figured out (as I've posted elsewhere on this forum) how to build SDL so that it support's DOSBox's ddraw renderer.
I was wondering if people would be interested in me posting (weekly probably) Win32 (Windows) binaries of DOSBox and SDL compiled from CVS sources under MinGW. If so, then I have two questions:
1. Will Snover (and the DOSBox devs and other CVS binary maintainers for that matter) allow me to post them in a thread here on VOGONS? I don't have a web site of my own to post them on.
2. What options and/or optimizations would people want? There are a lot of packages I'd have to get to add things like screenshot support, debugging mode support, etc. Also, for my own use I enable optimizations for my Athlon XP that people with other systems (e.g. Pentium 4) wouldn't want.
I would probably update it sometime during the weekend, and probably not starting until early January (as this is the last weekend I'll be at home for a couple weeks due to the holidays).
Anyways, I just thought I'd throw out the idea to see what peoples' opinions might be. I don't want to step on anyone's toes or anything - I just figured that since I got it compiling for my own use, I could share with interested people that don't know enough about software development to do it for themselves.
