Building on Haiku

Haiku builds can be created with Clang or GCC using the Meson buildsystem.

Build instructions

Install dependencies:

pkgman install -y meson ccache libpng libsdl2_devel sdl2_net_devel \
                  libogg_devel opus_devel opusfile_devel gcc_syslibs_devel \
                  opus_tools fluidsynth2_devel llvm_clang speexdsp_devel

Clone and enter the repository's directory:

git clone https://github.com/dosbox-staging/dosbox-staging.git
cd dosbox-staging

Build with OpenGL disabled (Haiku supports OpenGL only via software fallback):

meson setup -Duse_opengl=false build
ninja -C build

Detailed instructions and build options are documented in BUILD.md.

Run

Edit your configuration file by running: dosbox -editconf and make the following suggested changes (leave all other settings as-is):

[sdl]
output = texture
texture_renderer = software

[cpu]
core = normal

The state of Haiku's GPU Hardware-acceleration is being discussed here.
