Compiling

If you have compiled DosboxECE previously, the only additional library you will need is:

  • libieee1284-dev Simply navigate to the root folder of the source code and type
bash autogen.sh
./confige
make -j4
sudo make install

If you run into any errors, you are most likely missing a library.

Compiling Overview

If this is your first time compiling DosboxECE-OPL here are some general steps that will most likely need to be taken. All of these steps reference Debian linux, explicitly Ubuntu and Raspberry Pi OS where noted.

Needed Tools

sudo apt install the following tools if you don't have them installed:

  • binutils
  • gcc
  • g++
  • make
  • cmake
  • autoconf
  • cmake
  • libtools
  • libc-dev
  • libglib2.0-dev

Needed Libraries

Compile or install sudo apt install the following libraries and their dependencies.

  • libsdl1.2debian-dev
    • This is usually pre-installed on Raspbeery PI OS
  • libsdl-net1.2-dev
  • libfluidsynth3, libfluidsynth-dev
    • This is usually pre-installed on Raspbeery PI OS
    • Usually very old in the distro's, I would compile from source.
  • libieee1284-3-dev
  • libasound-dev or libasound2-dev
    • This is usually pre-installed on Raspbeery PI OS
  • libpulse-dev
    • This is usually pre-installed on Raspbeery PI OS
  • libmt32emu
    • Most likely needs to be compiled from source. Now statically build in releases.
    • For static builds use cmake -DBUILD_SHARED_LIBS=OFF
  • Optional qt5-default
    • This is only needed for the GUI for Munt MT-32 emulator. It is not strictly required.
    • New Debian builds don't have this package. Alternative package set is qtbase5-dev qtchooser qt5-qmake qtbase5-dev-tools

Munt MT-32 Emulator

The last library you need is probably not available as a package and will need to be compiled.

  • Grab the latest release of Munt MT-32 Emulators
  • extract the files and navigate to /munt-libmt32emu_X_X_X/mt32emu directory
  • Type the following sequentially once your in the mt32emu folder.
    • mkdir build
    • cd build
    • cmake ..
    • make -j4
    • sudo make install
    • sudo ldconfig
  • Make sure to obtain the Roland ROM files for libmt32emu.so to work.

Now simply follow the compile instructions for DosboxECE-OPL above.
