Help compiling Doom source

[BeefMan]

When I run make, DosBox keeps crashing. I'm using version 0.74 and I've tried a few other versions. Should I be going about this another way?

I used DOSBOX v0.74 to build the Doom code. Haven't seen DOSBOX crash, but I'm also running on an older Win 7 machine.

[BeefMan]

Thanks Carl, I've tried in Windows 10 and OSX. I'm copying the Doom source into the bin folder of the development tools and simply running the make command, that sound about right? I've also tried setting a path to the bin folder.

Dosbox used to crash while compiling with the Atari tools for me unless I changed the CPU to slow mode. Worth a try.

[BeefMan]

Thanks for the info Tursi, I've tried several CPU cores and types, also adjusting cycles. When it crashes I get the following error "Exit to error: IRET:Illegal descriptor type 12" in the DOSbox status window. Maybe someone can share their DOSbox config?

What CPU are you emulating in dosbox?

[Songbird]

I'm just using the DOSBox 0.74 config file (dosbox-0.74.conf) with no modifications. It worked the first time I installed it.

Sounds like it might be a fault of your dev tools - are you sure they're ok?

Apologies for the delayed response guys. I've been spending most of the past few weeks in the NICU with my newborn. I def appreciate everyone's responses.

 

I've tried emulating every CPU available in DOS box.

 

It very well could be my dev tools, although I'm using the files Carl sent me. Is there a guide for how to setup from scratch?

[Zerosquare]

There's not much to setup -- the dev tools don't have any configuration files, and they normally work fine out-of-the-box in DosBox as-is. Your problem is perplexing ; have you tried uninstalling DosBox completely, erasing the configuration file, then installing it again?

[BeefMan]

I've tried a couple different versions of DosBox on both Windows and OSX with the same results. I'm guessing I'm doing something really silly to cause the issue. I'll make a video later that shows the exact steps I'm taking.

[BeefMan]

As expected, something really silly, I just needed to correct a path in the makefile to match my environment.

 

C2OBJ = gcc -B/prog/jaguar/bin/ -b m68k -V2.6 -Wall -DJAGUAR -O2 -c -o $@ $?

 

to this

 

C2OBJ = gcc -B/jaguar/bin/ -b m68k -V2.6 -Wall -DJAGUAR -O2 -c -o $@ $?

 

And now I have a doom.abs file!

 

Will the ABS and WAD file fire up in an emulator? Trying to determine if I can use an emulator to quickly test my changes.

Atm doom only works on the project tempest emulator.
