I'm wondering how to build Dosbox CVS in 32-bit. If I edit the port file of dosbox by adding

if {$build_arch == "x86_64"} {
   configure.build_arch i386
} elseif {$build_arch == "ppc64"} {
   configure.build_arch ppc
}
if {[variant_isset universal] && [string match *64* $universal_archs]} {
   pre-fetch {
return -code error "$name $version cannot be built for 64-bit architectures"
   }
}


and commenting out

#platform darwin {
# configure.args-append --build=${build_arch}-apple-darwin$ {os.major}
#}

stopping the port install process in configuring and then overwriting the 0.73 release source with the CVS and then starting port install dosbox again, I am able to build a 32-bit Dosbox CVS that is stable and doesn't crash when switching to dynamic core (like the 64-bit version properly built by MacPorts does).

So that is working by tricking MacPort but I'm wondering how to do that manually.

I've tried with configuring dosbox with
./configure -build=i386-apple-darwin10.0.0 --target=i386-apple- darwin10 --prefix=/opt/local --disable-sdltest --disable-alsatest but that didn't work and has the same compile errors that the MacPorts port had before the last patch. So I'm obviously missing something that MacPorts does right when I use the above trick to build Dosbox in 32-bit.
What is it? Can anyone help me?

You're probably missing the "-arch i386" flags MacPorts adds to various environment variables. Use "sudo port -d configure dosbox" and examine the line beginning with "DEBUG: Environment:" to see all the environment variables MacPorts sets for you.

P.S.: Dosbox CVS still needs the midi_coreaudio.h patch that MacPorts does and in src/hardware/serialport/libserial.cpp you need to exchange #include <malloc.h> with #include <stdlib.h> (line 260) - just as an help to anyone trying their hand on the cvs as well. I've reported both issues to the Dosbox developers.
