How to compile Dosbox SVN Build Daum source code by using either gcc or g++ compiler

[SPP]

I want to compile Dosbox SVN Build Daum source code by using either gcc or g++ compiler, but I have no idea how to do this.

The source code can be downloaded from https://github.com/aybe/dosbox-svn-daum.git

Can someone help me with this please?

Did you read the INSTALL instructions from the link you posted. It tells you how to compile the source.

Are there INSTALL instructions?

I didn't notice them before I wrote this question.

Now I see them and I will have a look at them now and I will let you know if I understand what I need to do or not.

EDIT: Okay I took a look in this file, i.e. the file named "INSTALL" without extension, and unfortunately I don't understand what he/she that made this file wants me to do.

Can you better explain me please?

There are quite a few dependencies to install first.
For a beginner it's not that easy.
Why do you want to build it?

There are binaries available.

Here's a step-by-step tutorial for MinGw

My response is: I already know this fact and I am aware about this.

Thomas1965 asked me:

Why do you want to build it?

My answer is: I learned both C++ programming and Win32 API programming and I want to use my knowledge to modify Daum's DosBox to satisfy my needs and to do that I need the source code of his/her DosBox, not the executable and binary code.

This is okay that I could find by myself a download that gives me the source code of his/her DosBox, so now I can modify it as I want, but what should I do after the modification?

After the modification I need to compile the modified source code and get the executable of the DosBox that I want to use, but I found myself not knowing how to compile the source code, so I downloaded the source code, but I am not modifying it until I know how to compile it first.

This is the reason that I started this thread to learn how to compile the source code of DosBox Daum.

I guess that this is possible to do what I want to do using either g++ or gcc compiler, but I am still not sure how to use either g++ or gcc to achieve this.

Once I know I will be satisfied.

The reason that I chose to start this thread in the "Beginners" forum is because using either g++ or gcc to compile an application that was written either in C++ or C is very basic, and not knowing how to do this basic makes me a beginner, although I am not beginner neither in C++ nor C nor Win32 API programming at all.

I believe that compiling DOSBox with MinGw is also possible and I don't care what compiler I will use to compile this DOSBox as long as I have the ability to compile this DOSBox somehow.

I hope that this tutorial will help me.

Thank you very much for posting it for me. I appreciate this a lot.

I will let you know if this helped me or not.
