Re: Cannot build DOSBOX
use dosbox-x instead. I added it to MP largely because it is 64bit and maintained actively. It’s been updated a number of times lately I see. K K

I ain't likely to use PPC etc. dosbox is only available for 32-bit (i386). On your OS version, software builds 64-bit (x86_64) by default. Therefore, anything that is 32-bit only and has dependencies must install those dependencies universal (32-bit and 64-bit) on your system. You have disabled universal building by setting universal_archs to empty, therefore you cannot install dosbox. If you want to allow universal builds, remove the line "universal_archs" from macports.conf to let the default value (x86_64 i386 on your system) take effect. The compilers in Xcode on your OS version cannot compile for ppc so including ppc in universal_archs won't work.

I ain't likely to use PPC etc. By default macports.conf does not explicitly set universal_archs at all, so you must have manually adding that setting yourself at some point. Presumably you cannot remember why ? If not, i suggest just removing it and thus go back to using the default settings. > > I vaguely remember seeing the same thing with WINE and was going to > report it. > > -- Dave
