Hello,
I installed Bochs from the packages and additionally i want to install a second instance of Bochs with Debugging-enabled, like in the Document from
http://wiki.osdev.org/Bochs. I used Bochs 2.6 and tried it with the following commands :
Code: Select all
sudo apt-get install build-essential
Code: Select all
sudo apt-get install libgtk2.0-dev
Code: Select all
gunzip -c bochs-2.6.tar.gz | tar -xvf -
Code: Select all
./configure --enable-smp --enable-cpu-level=6 --enable-all-optimizations --enable-x86-64 --enable-pci --enable-vmx --enable-debugger --enable-disasm --enable-debugger-gui --enable-logging --enable-fpu --enable-3dnow --enable-cdrom --enable-x86-debugger --enable-iodebug --disable-plugins --disable-docbook --with-x --with-x11 --with-term
But it failed with the following error :
Curses library not found: tried curses, ncurses, termlib and pdcurses.
And so I can't execute make and also not make-install.
What I am doing wrong ?
Thanks for all your help!

You haven't installed the curses library?

One should install development packages for all dependencies. I don't remember the whole list for Bochs but for ncurses development you should install libncurses5-dev.

I'm pretty sure that Debain has a bochs package, so you could make use of that and do something like this:

It's much more interesting how to compile bochs under Windows.

apt-get install ncurses-dev
... or something like that... try 'apt-cache search ncurses' to find the exact package name if the above fails.

Exactly

Exactly
After installing the necessary libraries the ./configure-command was going fine, but make broke with an Error. I asked Google and i found, that you have to add "
LDFLAGS='-pthread'" to your ./configure-command.
So i run ./configure with
Code: Select all
./configure --enable-debugger --enable-disasm LDFLAGS='pthread'
And all runs smoothly
So, for all of yours who want to compile Bochs by yourself, don't forget LDFLAGS='pthread' !!!
Thanks for all your help !
