PSA - Wrappers does not work on Windows 9x because it compiles with UCRT instead of MSVCRT due to mingw-w64-gcc compiled with UCRT on mind. Compile and make wrappers in a different environment yourself until i find a fix or something idk

It is possible to compile correct mesa opengl32.dll wrapper for Win9x (tested on Me) by using https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/mingw-w64-crt-msvcrt (and also https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/mingw-w64-tools for gendef)

git clone https://github.com/kjliew/qemu-3dfx.git
cd qemu-3dfx/wrappers/mesa/
mkdir build && cd build
bash ../../../scripts/conf_wrapper
make && make clean

You can test the opengl32.dll with glchecker from the softgpu cd (move opengl32.dll and fxmemmap.vxd to the glchecker folder). If you compiled without mingw-w64-crt-msvcrt installed, glchecker should not work (you will get the dreaded API-MS-WIN-CRT-CONVERT-L1-1-0.DLL missing error)

But compiled with mingw-w64-crt-msvcrt installed it does work

hi, i can't build the 3dfx wrappers, it errors at;

make[1]: Entering directory '/home/richard/myqemu/qemu-3dfx-arch/wrappers/3dfx/dxe' CFLAGS -I../../../qemu-0/hw/3dfx -D__REV__="4e6c782-" -Wall -Werror -O3 -fomit-frame-pointer DXE glide2x.dxe i686-pc-msdosdjgpp-ld: cannot find -lc cp: cannot stat 'libfxgl2.a': No such file or directory cp: cannot stat 'glide2x.dxe': No such file or directory make[1]: *** [Makefile:26: glide2x.dxe] Error 1 make[1]: Leaving directory '/home/richard/myqemu/qemu-3dfx-arch/wrappers/3dfx/dxe' make: *** [Makefile:48: fxdrv] Error 2

however the mesa wrapper builds fine without errors.

@iPooPaLoT this error 'make: *** No rule to make target 'fxhook.o', needed by 'glide.dll'. Stop.' maybe “/etc/makepkg.conf MAKEFLAGS=-j ” 我comment MAEKFLAGS。the problem solved.

@iPooPaLoT

Having this exact same error i managed to compile this package. I'm not sure its the exact same for you but i my case it was because the package djgpp-djcrx was broken. This package provides i686-pc-msdosdjgpp-dxe3gen tool which is required to build wrappers. Without it some wrappers files did not compile silently (ie yay didn't stop the process).

I managed to compile djgpp-djcrx, i proposed a solution for that on the AUR package page: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/djgpp-djcrx

Even tried it in a vm. Same results.

Thanks but the build is still failing the same way.
