Hello everyone:
This is my first post question, and I hope some body can help me.
I like DOSBox, and I even teach my kids to play old games with it.
***
I'd like to compile dosbox by myself, but I just couldn't success executing.
My environment is:
WinXP Home, MinGW/Msys, GCC-4.6.2.
I followed the guild to to "./configure --enable-debug=heavy && make"
After compiled, no error messages, but when I executed it, It just showed a black box and disappeared quickly.
So, I used GDB and tried to find out what happened.
When I load dosbox.exe, and I found a message showed up:
...
Invalid allocation size -0xFFFFFFDC (exceeded 7ffdefff)
...

can some body told me, is there anything I lost ?
Thanks.

As you thanked in the thread about the gdb debugger replacement, is this with unaltered dosbox source or with that patch?

My friend, glad to hear from your response 😄

What I used is svn version downloaded from dosbox.com.
Actually I also tested the other version combined Python, but the result was the same situation. And I didn't test the version combined GDB (patched for GDB).

still thanks for your reply.

OK, after so many times' compiling, I finally found how to solve it.

The problem was at "pdcurse".... 🤣
So, I downloaded it again from sf.net, and use dlltools to regenerated my own "libpdcurse.a", and it worked !

I feel very happy now, because I finally have a custom-compiled DOSBox!

Now, I want to test gdbserver version under MinGW. Hope I could succeed !
