PCEm without X11

Post by vanfanel »

Hi there!

I am going to build PCEm for the first time. I have been working on the KMSDRM backend for SDL2 during the last weeks, and I believe it's now in pretty good state for pretty much anything I throw at it, so SDL2 programs run very well direcly without X11, which seems like a very good enviroment for DOS emulation!

So, is it possible to build PCEm without depending on X11? I have seen that it depends on wxWidgets, which is an X thing.
Maybe a --disable-x11 config option would be possible? In such a minimal enviroment, menus could be obviated in favor of simple config files.

Hm... No interest for X-less DOS emulation?

I'm interested, if you succeed, but unfortunately, I don't have any expertise to contribute.

What does PCem use that wxWidgets library for? GUI only? Or does it draw the screen thru wxWidgets?
