It has been compiled and tested on Linux, with MinGW/MSYS and MSVC nmake.
TODO: Check whether or not the config interface choice "win32config" can be
a plugin, too. Possibly add a new plugin type for config interfaces.
- Moved wx gui plugin entry point to wx.cc, so we can use the macro
PLUGIN_ENTRY_FOR_GUI_MODULE to be compatible with the other guis.
- Updated gui Makefile dependencies.
- Added suffix "_gui" to the base name of display library plugins.
- Added new function plugins_search() that browses the plugin folder(s) and
detects the type from the library name. Plugins with no prefix or suffix are
treated as i/o device plugins. The plugin_load() function uses this database.
- Some related fixes and cleanups.
The latest release is from 2001 and it will not work on modern Linux systems.
Parts of the SVGALib code have been moved to the Linux kernel and the X11 and
SDL libraries are using it as a video driver.
- added Android case to the configure script.
- renamed file memory.h to memory-bochs.h to fix conflict with NDK.
- fixed Android issues in some files.
- added new symbol BX_WITH_SDL2 and prepared build system
- TODO #1: add new option --with-sdl2 to configure script
- TODO #2: add new file sdl2.cc (porting seems hard to do - writing from scratch
might be better)
- embedding combined manifest makes BOCHS.EXE usable
- list of DLL plugins now depends on the pci and debugger options
- 'make clean' now removes the generated manifest files
- renamed variable for external rules
- documentation update
sections. A better solution must be found for the basic set of device plugins
in iodev that don't require special rules.
Switched back to the original gui macro naming for linking plugins.
rules can be built now (keyboard, pit, gameport, serial, vga, svga_cirrus,
hdimage, netmod, soundmod, usb_common). The generated DLLs are usable with the
BOCHS.EXE built with the IDE, but the nmake won't work at all yet.
- reverted changes in SVN revision 10985 (-DWIN32 now works again with Cygwin)
- don't link Bochs.exe or RFB gui with wsock32.dll in the Cygwin case
- the win32 gui doesn't need to be linked wsock32.dll at all
that is a part of the libtool package. Updated Makefile dependencies.
TODO: check if we can get rid of the ltdl*.* files (this would be possible if
the ltdl library is always available if libtool is present).
- use the CXXFLAGS and link options provided by the libvncserver-config script
- added Windows support for MinGW/MSYS (compiles fine, but crashes sometimes)
higher resolutions and > 8 bpp graphics modes. The RFB gui with limited
capabilities is still available.
TODO:
- fix random segfaults in dimension_update()
- Windows (MinGW) support
- fixes for clients not supporting 'rfbEncodingNewFBSize'
- fix cursor shape after dimension update()
in the gui object. Now the gui doesn't need to include vga.h.
- TODO #1: win32.cc also shouldn't include vga.h
- TODO #2: replace BX_MAX_XRES / BX_MAX_YRES by variables that can be set
depending on the configuration
