Package: bochs
Version: 2.3.7-1
Severity: wishlist

Hi,

while working on my operating systems class, we're using a hand-compiled
version of bochs to use the internal debugger which is essential to
debug problems in the programs we're developing (boot loader and basic
kernel). I'd be much better if we could use a package from Debian proper
:)

I've tried adding the --enable-debugger in the debian/rules file, with
no success; I still have to research why.

More information on:
http://bochs.sourceforge.net/doc/docbook/user/internal-debugger.html

Thanks.
