Greetings folks; I have need of an emulated machine and vmware keeps
crashing. I thought of plex86, but I am having trouble compiling the
snapshot. I get the following errors:
$ make
make -C user CC="gcc" CFLAGS="-g -O2 -Wall -Wstrict-prototypes"
LDFLAGS=""
make[1]: Entering directory `/tmp/plex86/user'
make -C plugins
make[2]: Entering directory `/tmp/plex86/user/plugins'
make -C bochs
make[3]: Entering directory `/tmp/plex86/user/plugins/bochs'
c++ -shared -o plugin-bochs.so io.o pc_system.o state_file.o \
iodev/libiodev.a gui/libgui.a \
-lX11
/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lX11
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
make[3]: *** [plugin-bochs.so] Error 1
make[3]: Leaving directory `/tmp/plex86/user/plugins/bochs'
make[2]: *** [all] Error 2
make[2]: Leaving directory `/tmp/plex86/user/plugins'
make[1]: *** [ALL] Error 2
make[1]: Leaving directory `/tmp/plex86/user'
make: *** [all] Error 2
I'll admit I don't know the X libraries well, but I thought I had enough
libraries installed; am I missing a library? (Does Debian call its X
libraries something else?)
On another note, I have seen screenshots of running NT/Linux etc, but
does enough of plex86 work in order to do linux kernel work? (ie, is it
worth it to me to keep trying with plex86?)
Thanks folks. :)
