Dosbox For Z

[vagrant_h]

I made an updated package http://www.users.on.net/~hluc/myZaurus/stu...0.6.3-2_arm.zip so that dosbox uses its own libSDL without touching the main SDL lib so it can co-exist with the SDL that for example doom and zemufe require.

I tried this with Cacko 1.23
and it tells me some lib is missing with the name: libstdc++-libc6.1-2.so.3

see if you have an alternative version of the library..

find / -name "libstdc*" -print

then hack in a link, e.g.

cd /usr/lib
ln -s libstdc++-libc6.1-3.so.3 libstdc++-libc6.1-2.so.3

or similar, this usually works if the versions are very close.

Thanx, but in fact, I already found libstdc++-libc6.2-2 @ /home/QtPalmtop/lib
and tried to make a link @ /home/QtPalmtop/lib and /usr/lib
none of them works

My notes say that I installed

dosbox_0.6.3-2_arm.ipk

on my C860 and when dosbox did not like the libs that it found, just installed

libstdc6_1.2.2_arm.ipk

and dosbox was copacetic. Tree!Expl shows /home/QtPalmtop/lib/ contains

libstdc++.so.5.0.5   with   libstdc++.so.5

both symblinked to

libstdc++.so.5.0.5

in /mnt/xqt/xqt-mozilla/opt/QtPalmtop/lib/

(Meanie's cramfs set).

libstdc6_1.2.2_arm.ipk installed

/usr/lib/libstdc++-3-libc6.1-2-2.10.0.so    with

/usr/lib/libstdc++-3-libc6.1-2.so.3
/usr/lib/libstdc++-3-libc6.2-2.so.3
/usr/lib/libstdc++-libc6.1-2.so.3

all symblinked to it.

Check the rundosbox script in

/home/QtPalmtop/bin/

for how the dosbox lib paths are changed.

HTH. If not, shout (G)

Thank you, it worked

You are very welcome. Its nice to be able to help another Z-lot (G) solve a problem! Glad that I could help.

updated dosbox with the : key working

Fn + ; = :
Fn + Ctrl + ; = ;

the file is here: http://zaurus.daemons.gr/menaie/feed/dosbox_0.6.3-3_arm.ipk

[Jon_J]

I just installed dosbox_0.6.3-3_arm.ipk onto my C3100.
I also have previously installed libstdc6_1.2.2_arm.ipk
I don't have Meanie's pdaxqtrom installed.
This version is supposed to run without x11 or pdaxqtrom, isn't it?

When running dosbox from the icon, or from the commandline, it opens a black screen, which looks like dosbox, but my Z is completely frozen.
The cancel button does nothing. None of the keys respond.
I must open the battery compartment, and reset my Z to get it running again.
The commandline launch didn't show any errors.

Thank you,
Jon

I had exactly the same results with this version on my C1000.

[ken]

I had exactly the same results with this version on my C1000.

ditto on my 6K.  Not that I really expected it to work though, as X/QT isn't the same as Qtopia afaik.

[dougeeebear]

I have a version of Dosbox worknig on my C1000.

hi, Bob:
   Can you compile dosbox natively on your Z?
   If yes, would you like to do the following:
in bios_keyboard.cpp
replace
{ 0x273b, 0x273a, none, 0x27f0 }, /* ;: */
with
{ 0x273a, 0x273b, 0x273b, 0x273a }, /* :; */

This is what Meanie told me to enable the key ':'
Thanks.

[nick12288]

can someone tell me if its possible to get dosbox working on a SL-5600?

[chyang]

It should be possible. But you need to hack dosbox and SDL for correct display.

Have not gotten it to work yet, Chen. Been a rough year - LOL!

Have just been using my old HP200LX instead rather then trying to run the DOS apps on one of the C860s now.

If yes, would you like to do the following:
in bios_keyboard.cpp replace
{ 0x273b, 0x273a, none, 0x27f0 }, /* ;: */
with
{ 0x273a, 0x273b, 0x273b, 0x273a }, /* :; */

I have that filed away now in working notes. THANKS!

Thanks to both you & Meanie. Sorry for the delay in reply. The window AC that cools my bed room - computer room complex died & it took a while to get a suitable replacement & install it. Hard to work the keyboard when its 92 degrees & 88% relative humidity - LOL!
