Edit : I've logged as root, configure script and make have run fine. Is there anything I can do with a normal user account on CentOS 6.x? On a debian-based Linux system installed in a virtual machine, there are no problems with normal user accounts. I guess that something is wrong in your system. C...

Check the output of: Per example, here (on Arch Linux) gives: One file called sdl2.pc must exist into one of those directories.

It seems that you have installed SDL2 into /usr/local . Uninstall it and then re-install it with: $ ./configure --prefix=/usr Rationale: Configure script installs packages into /usr/local/ by default (i.e. if prefix is not set). As pkg-config * will search for .pc files in the directories /usr/lib/p...

It looks like you have not installed the SDL2 libraries. Rationale: There is a bug into sdl2.m4 file since version 2.0.5. It causes that the configure script does not exit when it does not find the SDL2 libraries. The configure script fails when checking OpenAL because it tries to compile a test lin...

Add into src/slirp/slirp.h file:

I don't use Ubuntu, but you can try: to choose the correct wx-config (gtk2-unicode-release-3.0).

@szadycbr

Just type in terminal: and re-run ./configure && make.

@bit, I tested it and it's working like a charm. Now PCem (at least the wx port) can be packaged by distros . Thanks!

For my part, no. That's exactly what I had in mind.
Thanks for working on this.

I'd be amazed if anyone ever wanted to put PCem in a distro. I'd have assumed that the legal issues associated with the required BIOS images would make it a complete non-starter. Why? Emulators like MAME, Mednafen etc. also require copyrighted bios images and those emulators are packaged on most di...

@AmatCoder Thank you very much,i m learning thanks to You guys, and i m grateful for it, now it goes nearly to the end but , again i got errors: wx-sdl2-display.o: In function `render': wx-sdl2-display.c:(.text+0xe17): undefined reference to `SDL_WarpMouseGlobal' wx-sdl2-display.c:(.text+0xefc): un...

@szadycbr You can edit makefile and add option -std=gnu99 to CFLAGS. Example: If you want 64-bit version then edit Makefile.linux64-wx-sdl2 file and change line 5 from CFLAGS = -Doff64_t=__off64_t -O3 -fomit-frame-pointer -msse2 -m32 $(shell wx-config --cxxflags) $(shell sdl2-config --cflags) to CFL...

Gonna explain this. :) The tl;dr is that theoretically, there's nothing stopping you; it just doesn't work that well, is platform specific, and doesn't integrate with your game engine very well. Theoretically, you *can display Win32 controls on top of a DirectX window. Practically, though, it's too...

My main problem with using this GUI on Windows would be fact it uses SDL for input which on Windows refers back to DirectInput from what I know, which according to Microsoft themselves should not be used for keyboard because it breaks when the host OS is set to a keyboard layout that is not English...

[...]I must mention the resulting binary is huge (10mb) and the dlls it depends on are also huge, but that's probably to expected of the typical huge 'nix UI toolkits[...] When I cross-compiled this for Windows I was able to build an static executable (without dependencies) of only 3.3mb (UPX'ed, o...

I tested this and my thoughts are: Impressive work! :o This is more than I had in mind...Aside from some minor issues the job is done! SDL2 is really great. Now we can resize/fullscreen on Linux...And I believe that now it is faster than Windows port (most probably thanks to OpenGL renderer). It com...

PCem is not ready for packaging because it searches for bios and other files in its own path (Windows way).

I.e. if packaged, PCem executable would be in /usr/bin and this directory is not writable by other than root.

This one fixes a segmentation fault produced when user select a machine with internal ide hdd into allegro gui.

Rationale: internal_name is a pointer and is uninitialized when copying with strcpy. I think it is better to use a literal.

This patch add static specifier to inline functions in 808x.c file.
It fixes undefined references if compiled with --enable-debug option.

I will use this thread to upload patches (mainly for linux).

This first one updates makefiles to avoid undefined references.

Well, I have exchanged some PM's with Tuxality and we have decided that I should start this project (Tuxality will join when he find some free time). But there are some technical decisions/options that need to be discussed and it is better to do it here. So I'll write here some guidelines I would li...

[...] Btw. the linux build doesn't recognize et4000.bin while windows build does :? [...] Looking at the code, i think that you need to renamed it because on Linux filenames are case sensitive (and PCem is searching for et4000.BIN file). On Windows it works because the case is ignored if file is op...

Alright, there is no rush, we can wait until April.
When the moment comes, let me know if you need help with this project.

Thanks and regards.

Ok, I will send a PM to him.

Great!

I have a soft spot for FLTK only because (on Windows) it doesn't need a hundred of prerequisite dlls installed, doesn't bloat up the binary hugely when statically compiled and it can resemble pretty close to native Windows gui. On the development and linux side i'm not so sure nor am i sure of its ...

Hi again.

I am interested in building a new GUI for linux (I prefer one GTK based but I am open to suggestions).

Would you be interested in integrating this into mainline? Or maybe would it be better to create my own fork?

Is anyone already working on something like this?

Here another patch to fix segfault when there are no roms presents.

Hi to all! I wrote one patch to fix building with autotools on Linux. It is in a weird state right now and most probably it would require more improvements. These are the minimum changes to bring it to a state where it can be used to compile PCem. Changes are: allegro.m4 file is added and configure....
