@spifeeroo: cleaned up PKGBUILD following your comment. Thanks a lot.

I had to remove the CFLAGS, CXXFLAGS, and LDFLAGS section from the PKGBUILD in order to get the package to build. My /etc/makepkg.conf file has basically the default of pacman 6.1.0-3 with -j8, and I do not have CFLAGS, CXXFLAGS or LDFLAGS globally exported. Also "--enable-core-inline" flag appears to be invalid in the log. There does not appear to be that option in the ./configure file.

Brief note, latest pacman with changed makepkg.conf and aggressive compiler flags appears to break this package. More importantly, there is a sound stutter on my Windows 3.11 in any version later than 2022.12.26 see https://github.com/joncampbell123/dosbox-x/issues/4883. To avoid this problem I forked this package and rolled back to last stable working version. I use it to run https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Johnny_Castaway from 1992 as X11 screen saver.

Patch to fix some problems:

 }
  • Remove -Werror=format-security from flags rather than overriding all the flags.
  • Remove unnecessary chmod.
  • Remove -j$(nproc), that flag belong to MAKEFLAGS variable in user's makepkg.conf.

Amazing, thank you @FredBezies!!

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

jichu4n commented on 2023-03-16 17:57 (UTC)

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There is NO need to flag this package out of date because LAST released version is 0.84.2, back in august 1st, 2022.

So please, stop flagging it out of date.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.
