Really, please help me. Just tell me how to run DosBox after extracting the tar.gz file so that I may emulate like crazy and use the boot feature to boot windows from here in Ubuntu, or rise larger than windows and run Minix.
just install it from the repositories using synaptic package manager
+ This.
Also for your posts try actually telling us what happens. What have you tried, did you try it in a terminal window (if you don't know how to do that...google it).
It pains me every time i see a "omg help me x doesn't work" type of post where no information is given.
DosBox is available in Software Centre as well.
I believe kinkinkijkin downloaded the source and would have to compile and install from it to use that download. And from another post, didn't know about synaptic package manager.
DosBox 0.74 is currently not available via the channel.
Only 0.73 is available.
Try this...
Code:sudo apt-get install build-essential autoconf automake sudo apt-get build-dep dosbox wget "http://downloads.sourceforge.net/project/dosbox/dosbox/0.74/dosbox-0.74.tar.gz" tar -xvf dosbox-0.74.tar.gz cd dosbox-0.74 ./autogen.sh ./configure make sudo make install

Fixed it. Thanks
The code worked beautifully and DOSBox 0.74 has been flawlessly installed on my system (Lucid). A theoretical question: how can I remove it, since the package doesn't appear on the software center or on synaptics? Thanks.
