Myself reply 😀
Use VC7.1(a.k.a .NET 2003) to compile with no problem.
Or, you can use VC7.0(a.k.a .NET 2002) and overwrite VC Toolkit 2003 files into VC7.0 folder.
Important Fact: VC .NET 2003 is free except IDE. Microsoft guys are freely distributing VC7.1 without IDE, i.e, VC Toolkit 2003.
If you copy cl.exe, mspdb71.dll etc. into old version VC directory, you can compile DOSBox without problems.
If you have VC6.0, you should change these files.
1. render_normal.h :
Replace template function static void Normal(Bit8u * src){...}
to eight different functions, namely, Normal880, Normal8160, Normal8240, Normal8320, Normal881, Normal8161, Normal8241, Normal8321.
In detail,
for example, copy and paste static void Normal(Bit8u * src){...}, change its name to Normal880, and replace every occurrence of sbpp to 8, dbpp to 8, xdouble to false. The result will be like this:
static void Normal880(Bit8u * src) {
Bitu line_size=LineSize<8>(render.src.width) * (false ? 2 : 1);
Bit8u * line;
if (8 == 8 && !false) {
line=src;
BituMove(render.op.pixels,line,line_size);
} else {
Bit8u * line_dst=&normal_cache[0];
Bit8u * real_dst=render.op.pixels;
line=line_dst;
Bit8u * temp_src=src;
for (Bitu tempx=render.src.width;tempx;tempx--) {
Bitu val=ConvBPP<8,8>(LoadSrc<8>(temp_src));
AddDst<8>(line_dst,val);
AddDst<8>(real_dst,val);
if (false) {
AddDst<8>(line_dst,val);
AddDst<8>(real_dst,val);
}
}
}
render.op.pixels+=render.op.pitch;
for (Bitu lines=render.normal.hlines[render.op.line++];lines;lines--) {
BituMove(render.op.pixels,line,line_size);
render.op.pixels+=render.op.pitch;
}
}
Normal8160 means sbpp=8, dbpp=16, xdouble=false.
Normal8240 means sbpp=8, dbpp=24, xdouble=false.
Normal8320 means sbpp=8, dbpp=32, xdouble=false.
Normal881 means sbpp=8, dbpp=8, xdouble=true.
Normal8161 means sbpp=8, dbpp=16, xdouble=true.
Normal8241 means sbpp=8, dbpp=24, xdouble=true.
Normal8321 means sbpp=8, dbpp=32, xdouble=true.
Also, you should change Normal_8 and Normal_2x_8 like this:
static RENDER_Line_Handler Normal_8[4]={
Normal880,Normal8160,
Normal8240,Normal8320,
};
static RENDER_Line_Handler Normal_2x_8[4]={
Normal881,Normal8161,
Normal8241,Normal8321,
};
2. render_scale2x.h :
Replace template function static void AdvMame2x(Bit8u * src){...}
to four different functions, namely, AdvMame2x88, AdvMame2x816, AdvMame2x824, AdvMame2x832.
In detail,
for example, copy and paste static void AdvMame2x(Bit8u * src){...}, change its name to AdvMame2x88, and replace every occurrence of sbpp to 8, dbpp to 8. The result will be like this:
static void AdvMame2x88(Bit8u * src) {
RENDER_TempLine=render_line_cache[render.op.line&3];
am2x.cache[render.op.line&3]=src;
Bitu lines=*am2x.cmd_index++;
while (lines--) {
Bit8u * src0=am2x.cache[*am2x.cmd_index++];
Bit8u * src1=am2x.cache[*am2x.cmd_index++];
Bit8u * src2=am2x.cache[*am2x.cmd_index++];
AdvMame2x_line<8,8>(render.op.pixels,src0,src1,src2,render.src.width);
render.op.pixels+=render.op.pitch;
}
render.op.line++;
}
AdvMame2x816 means sbpp=8, dbpp=16.
AdvMame2x824 means sbpp=8, dbpp=24.
AdvMame2x832 means sbpp=8, dbpp=32.
Also, you should change AdvMame2x_8_Table like this:
static RENDER_Line_Handler AdvMame2x_8_Table[4]={
AdvMame2x88,AdvMame2x816,AdvMame2x824,AdvMame2x832
};
Finally, if src/hardware/vga.h is obsolete, copy include/vga.h and overwrite to src/hardware/.
P.S. Outrageous but effective way to reduce errors is... COMMENT IT!
