Windows path: C:\MinGW\msys\1.0\home\First Last\libogg-1.3.2

./configure --prefix="/home/First Last/libogg-1.3.2"
Alright, I've seen new files created and deleted in the libogg-1.3.2 directory while the ./configure command was running.

make: alright.

make install:

/bin/install: target `Last/libogg-1.3.2/lib/libogg.la' is not a directory make[2]: *** [install-libLTLIBRARIES] Error 1 make[2]: […]

/bin/install: target `Last/libogg-1.3.2/lib/libogg.la' is not a directory
make[2]: *** [install-libLTLIBRARIES] Error 1
make[2]: Leaving directory `/home/First Last/libogg-1.3.2/src'
make[1]: *** [install-am] Error 2

That's not your prefix. The prefix is where the stuff gets copied to.

Right, in that case the command on the wiki is like so: ./configure --disable-shared --prefix=/mingw
Yet still I get the same error.

Seems the best way to do things is putting everything somewhere without spaces. So instead of your userspace, put it into c:/compile or something like that.
A quick search found that.

I'm a Copy-paster not a programmer.

You already found out that the problem is the space in the user name, so why don't you just use the test user you created? No need to get frustrated, at least not here, this looks more like a MinGW error (or issue) to me, since it happens with SDL_net as well.

And you will keep getting this error, I can reproduce the error with another test user on a vm here:

1/bin/sh: [b]/home/test[/b]: No such file or directory
2make[2]: *** [install-libLTLIBRARIES] Error 127
3make[2]: Leaving directory `[b]/home/test user[/b]/libogg-1.3.2/src'
4make[1]: *** [install-am] Error 2
5make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/test user/libogg-1.3.2/src'
6make: *** [install-recursive] Error 1

Thank you everybody.
I'll just stick to what works, a single name user.

But I now see in the wiki that stuff gets put inside mingw to a folder named after the user. I don't know an easy way yet. Somone on Windows needs to step up.

I need help creating a diff file from two dosbox directories.

Now I use the following commnad:

diff -Nurb dosbos(original directory) dosbox(altered directory) > patch.diff […]
Show full quote

diff -Nurb dosbos(original directory) dosbox(altered directory) > patch.diff

-N treat missing files as empty, to create new files.
-u unify to single diff file.
-r directories (don't use if diff'ing individual files).
-b ignore white space.

The resulting diff file includes "--- dosbox/src/...", but on all patches I see --- +++ without the dosbox/ path and they are identical.
I have to manually remove the "--- dosbox/src/.." and change it to "--- src/.."
How do you create --- and +++ from the same place? I get an empty diff file (obviously).

Can anyone point me to the file which responsible for dosbox sound blaster Lowpass filer? I'd like to make it a little steeper to resemble a real SB more.
I looked in sblaster.cpp but nothing resembles a lowpass filter code.

Not quite:

1-u output NUM (default 3) lines of unified context
2-r recursively traverse subdirectories. diff will
3   still check the individual files in the directory
4   specified on the command line, but won't enter its
5   subdirectories.
6-b ignore white space--never do it, for programmers will
7   often use deliberately to separate code fragments or
8   or aling their code beautifully, e.g.
9
10                   h_in  = 200;
11                   w_in  = 320;
12                   h_out = 480;
13                   w_out = 640;

The resulting diff file includes "--- dosbox/src/...", but on all patches I see --- +++ without the dosbox/ path and they are identical.
I have to manually remove the "--- dosbox/src/.." and change it to "--- src/.."

I did not manually edit my latest pixel-perfect patch. To generate it, I changed into the directory with the patched version of DOSBox and executed:

1diff -uprN ../dosbox-code-3989/ . > pixel-perfect-alpha2.patch

This way, diff will insert the correct relative paths to the new files.

How do you create --- and +++ from the same place? I get an empty diff file (obviously).

No idea, but I will find it out!

I can only suggest that you first locate the code that outputs sound (should be some SDL calls) and ascend the call tree from that. The documentation for SDL 1.2 is supplied with the source.

The version-control system SVN does it.

Great, thanks Ant_222.
