[Solved] Bochs-x

Hello,

I used bochs with bochs-x on mint. On Arch, the package bochs is available, but bochs-x is not. Does anyone know how to obtain it on Arch?

Re: [Solved] Bochs-x

Bochs can be compiled with wx-widgets support, so you get a gui from which to configure and run emulation.
I could not succeed at compiling it with latest wxgtk, but it works with wxgtk2.8 which is also in the repos.
Modify the PKGBUILD with:

--with-wx

instead of

--without-wx

I also symlinked /usr/bin/wx-config2.8 to /usr/bin/wx-config (which will conflict if you also install latest wxgtk) so the configure-script would find what it looks for.

Install and run, bochs will start with gui.

Re: [Solved] Bochs-x

Just to make this post complete, because I will surely need it in the future:

(1) I installed wtgtk2.8.
(2) I downloaded the PKGBUILD for bochs and added the flags --with-x --with-all-libs --with-sdl and removed  --without-x
(3) ran makepkg -s and then pacman -U
