Things needed for compilation:
2021-02-06 16:06:31 +01:00
SDL
The Simple DirectMedia Library available at https://www.libsdl.org/
The dll distributed with the windows version of DOSBox is slightly
modified. You can find the changes in the sourcepackage of DOSBox
(src/platform/sdl-win32.diff). If you want the patched sourcetree
send us an email. (see README)
Note that only version 1.2 and its subversions (1.2.8, 1.2.13 etc.)
are currently supported.

Curses (optional)
If you want to enable the debugger you need a curses library.
ncurses should be installed on just about every unix distro.
2021-02-06 16:06:31 +01:00
For win32 get pdcurses at https://pdcurses.org/
License: Public Domain
Libpng (optional)
Needed for the screenshots.
For win32 get libpng from http://gnuwin32.sourceforge.net/packages.html
See http://www.libpng.org/pub/png/ for more details.

Zlib (optional)
Needed by libpng.
For win32 get libz (rename to zlib) from http://gnuwin32.sourceforge.net/packages.html
2021-02-06 16:06:31 +01:00
See https://www.zlib.net/ for more details.

SDL_Net (optional)
2021-02-06 16:06:31 +01:00
For modem/ipx support.
Get it from https://www.libsdl.org/projects/SDL_net/release-1.2.html
License: LGPLv2+
2021-02-06 16:06:31 +01:00
SDL_Sound (optional)
For compressed audio on diskimages (cue sheets) support.
This is for cue/bin cdrom images with compressed (mp3/ogg) audio tracks.
Get it from http://icculus.org/SDL_sound

2021-02-06 16:06:31 +01:00
ALSA_Headers (optional)
for Alsa support under linux. Part of the linux kernel sources

If you want compile from developer sources (SVN) under a unix system, you'll
also need automake (>=1.6) and autoconf(>=2.50).
Should be available at https://www.gnu.org/software/
For building on unix systems.
2021-02-06 16:06:31 +01:00
If you are building from developer sources run ./autogen.sh first before doing
the following:
2021-02-06 16:06:31 +01:00
$ ./configure
$ make
2021-02-06 16:06:31 +01:00
You can also run "./configure --help" for extra features to enable/disable.
Some of them are:
2021-02-06 16:06:31 +01:00
--enable-debug
enables the internal debugger. --enable-debug=heavy enables even more
debug options. To use the debugger, DOSBox should be run from an xterm
and when the sdl-window is active press alt-pause to enter the
debugger.
--disable-core-inline
disables some memory increasing inlines. This speeds up compilation,
but may result in a slower dosbox.
--disable-fpu
2021-02-06 16:06:31 +01:00
disables the emulated fpu. Although the fpu emulation code isn't
finished and isn't entirely accurate, it's advised to leave it on.
--disable-fpu-x86
2021-02-06 16:06:31 +01:00
--disable-fpu-x64
disables the assembly fpu core. Although relatively new, the x86/x64
fpu core has more accuracy than the regular fpu core.
--disable-dynamic-x86
2021-02-06 16:06:31 +01:00
disables the dynamic x86/x64 specific cpu core. Although it might be
a bit unstable, it can greatly improve the speed of dosbox on x86 and
x64 hosts.
Please note that this option on x86/x64 will result in a different
dynamic/recompiling cpu core being compiled than the default.
For more information see the option --disable-dynrec
--disable-dynrec
2021-02-06 16:06:31 +01:00
disables the recompiling cpu core. Currently x86/x64 and arm only.
You can activate this core on x86/x64 by disabling the dynamic-x86
core.
--disable-dynamic-core
2021-02-06 16:06:31 +01:00
disables all dynamic cores (same effect as --disable-dynamic-x86
or --disable-dynrec).
--disable-opengl
disables OpenGL-support (output mode that can be selected in the
DOSBox configuration file).
--disable-unaligned-memory
disables unaligned memory access.
Check the src subdir for the binary.
NOTE: If capslock and numlock appear to be broken. open
src/ints/bios_keyboard.cpp and go to line 30 and read there how to fix it.
Build instructions for VC++6
Don't use VC++ 6: it creates faulty code in core_normal.cpp
Later Visual Studio versions work fine (vs2003/.net up to vs2010)
