MinGW DOSBox-X Build Notes

* MinGW redistributable files must be in the PATH while compiling and while

running a MinGW DOSBox-X. (SDL.dll, libpng.dll, zlib1.dll, etc.)

* The MinGW PNG package does not currently bundle the libpng.dll.a static

library, which means that a MinGW DOSBox-X cannot be statically compiled using

distro packages.

Use this environment for building a 64-bit MinGW DOSBox-X on Cygwin:

TRIPLET=x86_64-w64-mingw32 export PATH="/usr/$TRIPLET/sys-root/mingw/bin:$PATH" export CC="$TRIPLET-gcc" export CXX="$TRIPLET-g++"

autoreconf && ./configure && make

Alternatively install MSYS2 on Windows,

Open the MSYS2 MinGW 64-bit prompt,

then run:

pacman -Syu # Keep up to date! pacman -S base-devel gcc mingw-w64-x86_64-toolchain mingw-w64-x86_64-SDL2 mingw-w64-x86_64-libpng --needed cd /path/to/dosbox-code ./build-mingw-sdl2
