Hi guys,
Well in view of the fact that things have been very quiet lately, I
thought you wouldn't mind too much if I posted this again. I'd really
appreciate it if someone would let me know if they think I'm going in
the right direction.
Id the original author of plex86 isn't working on it any more, is
there any likelihood of further development?
73,
Ged.
Original message...
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Installed from the tarball, had to add "plugins/bochs/" to these lines
in user/gui/gui.cc to get it to compile:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
#include "plugins/bochs/gui/bitmaps/floppya.h"
#include "plugins/bochs/gui/bitmaps/floppyb.h"
#include "plugins/bochs/gui/bitmaps/mouse.h"
#include "plugins/bochs/gui/bitmaps/reset.h"
#include "plugins/bochs/gui/bitmaps/power.h"
#include "plugins/bochs/gui/bitmaps/snapshot.h"
#include "plugins/bochs/gui/bitmaps/commit.h"
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Then plex86 compiled OK on RH6.2 (literally out of the box) but not on
Slackware 7.1 which seems to be missing linux/autoconf.h. "configure"
gave me some unimportant errors, see log below. I ran through the
DOS622.HOWTO (thanks, Michael!) with the appropriate changes, had to
delete the line which reads
----------------------------------------------------------------------
bochs-init
----------------------------------------------------------------------
("grep -r" on the directory tree showed the only places this string
appear are in the config files, so I guess they all need editing).
.oOo.
Made disc image, fired up X, loaded kernel module, ran "plex86 -f..."
It didn't seem to look at the floppy but I got the following output:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
[root@RH62 user]# ../misc/load_module.sh
The kernel module is sucessfully installed.
[root@RH62 user]# ./plex86 -f ../conf/DOS_6.22.conf

Am I getting somewhere?
