Locked thread?

I was just wondering why the 'bochs' thread was locked? Was there something offensive in there? It wasn't a flamewar or anything....?

I wondered the same thing, mainly because I wanted to correct that backslashes are normally supported by bochs, both on the command line and in .bochsrc...

And I was going to add that you can always double every backslash, and it'll work.

Combuster: are they? when people complain about bochs errors usually the error message looks like an incorrectly parsed path. The error 'C', for example (from 'C:\bleh\bleh')
EDIT: in case you take it the wrong way, im not implying that you are wrong (ive never used win32 bochs), only showing my general observation!

On Win32 it should work.Combuster: are they? when people complain about bochs errors usually the error message looks like an incorrectly parsed path. The error 'C', for example (from 'C:\bleh\bleh')
iirc, most other operating systems only support foward slash (/), which is probably where the error comes from. Please correct me if im wrong

I don't think backslashes will be a problem with any sane user.
My bochs setup on windows eats backslashes normally. I have both precompiled binaries and self-cygwin-compiled binaries and neither showed any issues. On unix, you obviously wouldn't use c:\...\..., so IMO the problem is nonexistant.

Then, in the future, would you please not post (educated) guesses and making them look like facts?(ive never used win32 bochs)

Alright, then. I was under the impression that the OP was using cygwin, which obviously emulates a unix-environment. Is cygwin hard-coded to deal with backslashes too then?Combuster wrote:Then, in the future, would you please not post (educated) guesses and making them look like facts?(ive never used win32 bochs)

Cygwin works fine with backslashes. For example cd C:\ takes you to /cygdrive/c.JamesM wrote:Alright, then.
