@jichu4n: --enable-debug is now activated.

Would it be possible to enable the built-in debugger functionality?

Currently, the PKGBUILD includes --disable-debug which disables the built-in debugger: https://github.com/joncampbell123/dosbox-x/blob/master/README.debugger . This functionality is useful for using DOSBox-X to e.g. debug assembly code. Would you be open to switching this to --enable-debug?

(FWIW, the dosbox-x-sdl2-git package's PKGBUILD does have --enable-debug.)

@abuseware: once again 0.84.3 IS not released. It is tagged as a pre-release.

https://github.com/joncampbell123/dosbox-x/releases/tag/dosbox-x-v0.84.3

There is NO need to flag this package out of date because LAST released version is 0.84.2, back in august 1st, 2022.

So please, stop flagging it out of date. It is NOT. A new version will be released soon, let's hope.

Just a heads up: Next release won't require any ffmpeg hacks

@strajder: I had both dosbox-x-sd2 and dosbox-x-sdl2-git to maintain and modify. Now, ffmpeg is really disabled.

See this commit in dosbox-x-sdl2-git: https://aur.archlinux.org/cgit/aur.git/commit/?h=dosbox-x-sdl2-git&id=e32aa0bb6507c6f06a015a91db871156296207f1

But it won't change a thing: legacy ffmpeg package name is weird on Artix.

I managed to build it. For the reference, currently it is needed to edit PKGBUILD so the configure command reads:

./configure --enable-core-inline --enable-debug --disable-avcodec --prefix=/usr --enable-sdl2

(changed --enable-avcodec into --disable-avcodec).

@straderj:

1) Archlinux cannot be held responsible for package naming in Artix. How logical it is to name the ffmpeg4.4 version "ffmpeg-compat-58"?

2) I disabled ffmpeg support until ffmpeg 5.x is supported. I reported a bug here: https://github.com/joncampbell123/dosbox-x/issues/3283

3) You can build this package WITHOUT ffmpeg. I did not try on Artix (I do not have a virtual machine of it), but as ffmpeg support is disabled, it will surely work.

Hope this small answer will clear things.

Artix developers made a wrong decision about naming the ffmpeg 4.4 legacy version. Archlinux and AUR cannot be held responsible here.

Hello again. extra/ffmpeg is now version 2:5.0-4 in Arch, dosbox-x still fails to compile, and Artix developers cannot be blamed anymore. Can now something be done about the inability to actually compile and use this package?
