HOWTO : DBoxFE [A GUI for Dosbox].

[ashmew2]

Hi,

To install DBoxFE . which is a GUI for Dosbox , We need :

Dosbox and Development Library of Qt4 and files needed for compiling.

To do that , simply put in the terminal :

sudo apt-get install dosbox libqt4-dev build-essential

Now , we need to download the source file for DBoxFE , because its not available in a packaged Binary for each Distro.To do that , simply click here : http://prdownload.berlios.de/dboxfe/...-0.1.3.tar.bz2

And select a mirror to download it.

Save the dboxfe-0.1.3.tar.bz2 to your Desktop.

Next , Open up a terminal
[And enter the commands , one line at a time pressing enter after each] :

mkdir ~/.dboxfe
cd ~/.dboxfe
tar -xvf ~/Desktop/dboxfe-0.1.3.tar.bz2 
cd dboxfe-0.1.3/
./configure
make -f Makefile
cd dboxfetray/
make -f Makefile

It's installed , now to make a launcher for DBoxFe :

cd ~/Desktop
ln ~/.dboxfe/dboxfe-0.1.3/bin/dboxfe DBoxFE

Now You have an icon on the Desktop , which you can right click to open up DBoxFE.

Just post back if you need some help with this!
Cheers.
