Dosbox 0.65 is out!

[Perfect Storm]

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
libsdl1.2-dev: Depends: libartsc0-dev but it is not going to be installed

As you see the problem lies here
Try with refreshing your sourcelist

sudo apt-get update

Also it seems it havn't installed build-essential. Try again.

By the way how does your sourcelist looks like?

 sudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list

Hmm... it stil doesn't really work. A quick kdesu kata /etc/apt/sources.list gave me this:

[Mathias-K]

Nice work. I'll have a look at it when i'm done making my homework

[Stinger]

Uninstall the previous dosbox first.
Save the dosbox source to your desktop. http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/d...ar.gz?download

sudo apt-get install build-essential libsdl1.2-dev libsdl-net1.2-dev libsdl-sound1.2-dev libsdl-mixer1.2-dev libsdl-image1.2-dev
cd Desktop
tar zxvf dosbox-0.65.tar.gz
cd dosbox-0.65
./configure
make
sudo make install

Thanks for the nice instructions , just what I needed to install the latest version of dosbox.
The Speed is a lot better with the new version , I can play Hexen without stuttering sound now.
As you can see , I use Dosboxgui , makes life a whole lot easier when you have a danish keyboard like mine.
Thanks again.

[DoktorSeven]

Thanks for the DosboxGui link. Very nice.

Dosbox isn't hard to configure but when I'm lazy this is simpler

[engineering.concepts]

Thanks for the step by step instructions and link to dosboxGUI - very nice programs.
Here is a cool link to tons of DOS games. Some free some demo

http://www.dosgamesonline.com/index/list/all/all

Use the link on the left hand side to narrow down the search. (action, adventure, etc.)

I have tried only a few dos games from this site, but everything works prefectly!!!

[DarkMageZ]

i've made a package for ubuntu dapper (might work in breezy as well) for DosBox 0.65, just not sure where to host it. could host it on my work's server, but that could cost me my job, so for the moment, if u want the package, message me on freenode.

if someone is willing to host the package message me on freenode as well

[Perfect Storm]

You can send it to me. I'll see if I can find a place to host it.

[siriusnova]

can anyone please host the Dosbox 0.65 deb file?

id like to use it instead of compiling from source
