Hi there,
I thought I'd give it a whirl...
Installed from the tarball, had to add "plugins/bochs/" to these lines
in user/gui/gui.cc:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
#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 and the only places this command
appear are in the config files, so I guess they all need editing).
Made a disc image, loaded the kernel module, ran "plex86 -f..."
It didn't seem to look at the floppy but I got the following output:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Processing command-line options

----------------------------------------------------------------------
Am I getting somewhere?
