I would like to venture a *bump* on this request.

Whoever finishes it first gets a super secret prize that is all crazy super good and ... stuff.

Thanks.

Re: [REQ] DBoxFE is a QT frontend for DosBox

While trying to get Syndicate Wars , one of my favorite dos games , running under arch, i stumbled on this request.

After checking dosbox frontends for linux i decided to use DboxFE and made a package for it.
I've submitted it to AUR in the category emulators.

Still it doesn't added. There is no graphic front-end for dosbox neither in AUR or pacman.
Can you share PKGBUILD, here. I'm a noob.

You did notice the date of my post ?

In 2006 AUR was at version 0 or 1 and there have been several major cleanups of AUR.

There is a dboxfe2 pacakge in aur, try that.

Please pay attention to the last post date, mahdi, and don't necrobump.
