How do I compile this on Raspberry Pi 4?

[WhyIsntTouhouBuntuRealYet]

I'm running TwisterOS Lite on an RPI4 8GB model.
First: Which packages do I need to install first?
Second: How do I compile this?
And third: How can I set up an Automount for floppy disks and CDs?

Thank

Please have a look at https://github.com/joncampbell123/dosbox-x/blob/master/README.source-code-description

This is what I got after I compiled.

make[3]: Leaving directory '/home/pi/dosbox-x/src/gui'
make[2]: *** [Makefile:529: all-recursive] Error 1
make[2]: Leaving directory '/home/pi/dosbox-x/src'
make[1]: *** [Makefile:400: all-recursive] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory '/home/pi/dosbox-x'
make: *** [Makefile:333: all] Error 2

Granted, I did omit 2 of the required packages because apt couldn't find them.

Can anyone link a precompiled lib?

@WhyIsntTouhouBuntuRealYet You can try the latest code, or you can try to build the DOSBox-X 0.83.14 release version. The latter is available from:

https://github.com/joncampbell123/dosbox-x/archive/refs/tags/dosbox-x-v0.83.14.tar.gz

Hope this helps.

Alternatively, you can also run the pre-compiled Linux Flatpak package on your system. It is available from the homepage or release section.

flathub doesn't work. is there a .deb package?

[Wengier]

@WhyIsntTouhouBuntuRealYet The header file issue is already fixed in the latest code, so you can try check out the most recent code and build again. At this time there are only RPM packages in addition to Flatpaks for Linux.

[WhyIsntTouhouBuntuRealYet]

Do I just do autogen and then configure?

[Wengier]

If you used git clone to get the repository code previously, then try git pull, then make. Hope this helps.

I think linux hates me.

also...
error: Nothing matches com.dosbox_x.DOSBox-X in remote flathub

[WhyIsntTouhouBuntuRealYet]

Yay, it works now.
I used the .zip file instead of the Git command.

The flatpak package is only available for 64bit x86_64 and 64bit Arm (aarch64). The Pi4 is 64bit capable but most Pi distros are unfortunately still 32bit.

What does uname -a return?

[WhyIsntTouhouBuntuRealYet]

Okay, now it's not compiling anymore.
compilation terminated.

What does this mean? And how do I fix it?

[Wengier]

@WhyIsntTouhouBuntuRealYet Can you post the full error output including the line(s) causing errors? Thanks.

[WhyIsntTouhouBuntuRealYet]

Nevermind, I fixed it. I downloaded the dependent packages and followed MagPi's guide, and it worked.
Wish I could say the same about the mouse, but that's a different matter.
