_How to apply the patch and recompile dosbox_ Packages that are needed (install via synaptic, adept or apt-get): build-essential devscripts fakeroot
Open up a terminal. Create a directory somewhere and change to the newly created directory. Execute the following commands (don't type the Dollar sign!): $ sudo apt-get build-dep dosbox $ apt-get source dosbox Get the patch from the link above or use the prepared one that is attached to this post. I assume that the file is named "dosbox-0.72-evdev.patch". Execute: $ patch -p0 < dosbox-0.72-evdev.patch You just patched dosbox. Now on to the build. Change to the subdirectory "dosbox-0.72". Execute: $ debchange --nmu A command line editor should open up. You don't need to type something. Just save and exit (if the editor is vim, type ":wq" followed by return). Execute: $ sudo dpkg-buildpackage The build process should now start. If it finished successfully, you will find the generated packed in the directory above (name should be "dosbox_0.72-1.1build1.1_amd64.deb" or something like that, depending on your architecture). Install the package via $ sudo dpkg -i dosbox_0.72-1.1build1.1_amd64.deb Change the name of the .deb file in the command above to meet the name of the one you just built. Hope that helps.
