Have managed with some (considerable) help to compile DosBox Megabuild 6 on Ubuntu 12.04; and it seems to run OK, but I cannot seem to get the print side of it going. I have two network printers that are called respectively: HP-LaserJet-m2727-MFP HP-Deskjet-930c I can print under Ubuntu to the …

Hello Qbix, Yes there it is. Moved it to the /usr/bin directory and it works. So many thanks to dougdahl for his help and patience. Had a bit of a play with it and noted one peculiarity; this version of dosbox locks up on GeoWorks 3.2a on exit unless you work in a window and hit a (actually any) key …

Did as recommended, seemed to get a good compile, but still something is missing, as I have no program. So here is attached a text file with the last bit of the compile, for some reason the first bit is missing. Paul.

Hello dougdahl, thanks for that. Have installed the files as instructed, added the line to the three files and recompiled same. It looks like there are still problems, but further into the compile, which may be good news (or not). Have attached the command line output file that show all my actions …

Hello dougdahl, I will install the relevant program and this time leave the libsdl-net1.2 and libsdl-sound1.2 alone. Could you tell me the commands needed to install libsdl-net1.2-dev and libsdl-sound1.2-dev? I may as well eliminate any possible problems from the onset. Again the command line for …

Sorry, in hindsight it was obvious. I have done a recompile and have found exactly the same problem; the "make" section comes up with multiple errors. I have attached the whole thing as a text file; sorry for the length, but the errors occur in the final part; everything else seems to work OK.

OK. I'll have a go at compiling this again. But sorry about having to deal with the basics, but how do I record what appears in the terminal box? It happens too fast to see clearly let alone copy; and at the conclusion of running a command only a small portion of the action shows in the window.

So does this mean I cannot compile DosBox Megabuild on my machine, or is there a way around this?

It has 2 threads, I presume that means it has hyperthreading. I am not an expert at this so forgive me. Paul.

Not sure. The machine I am compiling it on is a HP Compaq DC7600 small formfactor with 3GB of RAM and a Pentium 4, 3 Ghz microprocessor. I have a 160 GB hard drive with plenty of empty space. Video is Intel 945Gx86/MMX/SSE2 - pretty vanilla stuff I would guess. I just noticed one thing however, …

Have been trying to compile DosBox Megabuild 6 on Ubuntu 12.04 in order to get the printing facility going. I have followed the instructions from h-a-l-9000 to the letter, and everything goes fine until the "make" routine, when it bombs out with errors as regards some issue with the microprocessor. …
