Bug 110 – bochs-1.3_pre1-r2.ebuild

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

[Description Chris Arndt 2002-01-09 19:34:40 UTC]

Bochs is a pc emulator.

This ebuild is set up to emulate a Pentium, with a NE2000 network card, and a
CDROM drive.

It also comes with a disk image using dlxlinux.

app-emulation/bochs

Forgot to attache the ebuild, and now bugzilla won't let me attach it.

Maybe I need to file a bug against gentoo bugzilla. :)

hmm .. we have noticed this problems, we are currently running on a cvs
bugzilla, might have to do with it.

for now please copy the ebuild as a comment.

Hm, bochs looks like a nice app. I'll enjoy working on the ebuild :-)

About the builtin support though: shouldn't we enable support for 
everything, not just pentium/cdrom/etc.? e.g. support for smp, and a few 
other things I remember seeing in the features list when I looked at it a few 
week ago.

If a virtual machine doesn't use some specific support, can enabling that 
support cause any kind of problems?

[Comment 5 Chris Arndt 2002-02-02 14:05:15 UTC]

boch is pretty cool, it runs kinda slow, but i have had gentoo up and running on it.

as for the support, the only one you might want to add is sound.
the config enables are a little different in that they compile those features in
to the virtual machine.  smp support isn't recommended as it adds smp emulation
to boch, which actually slows it down.  it's really only for testing purposes.

just my 2 cents

[Comment 6 Dan Armak (RETIRED) 2002-02-12 16:02:55 UTC]

Committed as app-emulation/bochs. Please take a look, I've done some 
changes.

[Comment 7 Chris Arndt 2002-02-15 19:18:03 UTC]

looks pretty good to me, and i was able to compile without any problems.
