Bochs does not work

I just installed bochs over commandline in Ubuntu 16.04

Code: Select all

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install bochs
Then I tried to execute my OS

Code: Select all

bochs <img file>
But I got nothing but errors
The errors are in the attached picture
How can I solve this. I also tried to build it from source but that didn't work because of errors while making. It works under QEMU

Bochs is nowhere near as simple to start up as qemu is - It needs a configuration file that specifies all of the hardware to emulate. If you start it with no arguments, it should provide an interface to create/edit this configuration file (including specifying your disk images)

I chose the default configuration but I got the same error

You could just RTFM to solve this problem. This forum is not meant to teach you how to use your tools.

I made bochs working by reading bochsrc sample file and configure it right
