Things needed for compilation.
SDL
The Simple DirectMedia Library available at http://www.libsdl.org
Curses
(optional)
If you want to enable the debugger you need a curses library.
ncurses should be installed on just about every unix distro.
For win32 get pdcurses at http://pdcurses.sourceforge.net
Libpng
Needed for the screenshots. (optional)
For win32 get libpng from http://www.sourceforge.net/projects/gnuwin32
Zlib
Needed by libpng. (optional)
For win32 get libz (rename to zlib) from http://www.sourceforge.net/projects/gnuwin32
SDL_Net
For modem/ipx support(optional). Get it from http://www.libsdl.org
SDL_Sound
For compressed audio on diskimages. (optional)
ALSA_Headers
(optional)
???????? for Alsa support under linux
If you want compile from the CVS under a unix system, you'll also need
automake (>=1.6), autoconf(>=2.50). Should be available at http://www.gnu.org
For building on unix systems.
If you are building from the cvs run ./autogen.sh first before doing the following.
1. ./configure
2. make
In step 1 you could add the following switches:
--enable-debug
enables the internal debugger. --enable-debug=heavy enables even more
debug options. Dosbox should then be run from a xterm and when the sdl-
window is active press pause to enter the debugger.
--disable-fpu
Will disable the emulated fpu. Although the fpu emulation code isn't
finished and isn't entirely accurate it's advised to leave it on.
--enable-core-inline
enables some memory increasing inlines. This greatly increases
compiletime for maybe a increase in speed.
--disable-dynamic-x86
disables the dynamic cpu core. Although it's unstable it can greatly
improve the speed of dosbox on x86 hosts.
--disable-fpu-x86
disables the assembly fpu core. Although relatively new the x86 fpu
core has more accuracy then the regular fpu core.
Check the src subdir for the binary.
Build instructions for VC++6
Don't use VC++ 6:it creates faulty code in core_normal.cpp
