what's up everyone if I try to install a dosbox X which is an improved version
00:05
of dosbox on Arch Linux from the AUR I get the error that I'm gonna show you
00:13
now which proves that it fails to compile since it's compiling from source
00:19
as you can see the package failed to compile such thing often happens
00:36
especially with the source based packages one of the solutions may be changing the
00:45
package build script before installing it and it will help compile successfully
00:51
however it may not be possible and may not solve the problem another another
00:56
possible solution is to find the package with the suffix bin at the end in our
01:03
case it's yay-s dosbox-x-bin if I'm not mistaken in my case I cannot find it with
01:14
this name I believe I looked for it in aur.archlinux.org looking for in the place
01:21
where you look for the packages I still cannot find it I looked for dosbox-x
01:29
and the chaotic AUR which is similar repository to AUR but with less packages
01:36
the different thing between the packages and the AUR and the packages in the chaotic
01:41
AUR are mostly compiled and in the form of binary packages they can simply be
01:50
installed right away to have the chaotic AUR installed on your system you need to
01:59
run a few commands as you're gonna see like this one
02:14
like this password
02:17
okay second command is this one simply clicking it copies it into your clipboard
02:37
okay and then this command
02:47
here is the result of looking for dosbox-x I see no dosbox-x- bin
03:09
here press y and enter
03:17
y again and enter
03:26
and then
03:28
we should go to the next command which should be
03:31
this one
03:37
yeah no this one
03:40
that's the command
03:47
and then we should go to a file
03:56
the file of pacman the main file of the configurations and slash etc
04:01
slash pacman dot conf
04:05
and we append
04:06
this
04:09
and paste it
04:14
no
04:26
let's put it at the end
04:27
like this
04:33
paste here
04:34
save and exit
04:36
we are recommended to update
04:39
the repositories
04:41
like this
04:50
all right
04:51
now if we try to install
04:53
using the native method without the need for any
04:56
a ur helper nor a ur manual method
05:00
dosbox-x
05:03
we should succeed with it
05:10
if we try to run dosbox
05:14
dash x
05:14
i do have dosbox installed the vanilla one
05:18
we are able to get it working as you can see
05:22
so it means
05:24
the installation is successful
05:27
anyway that's it for this video
05:30
i hope you subscribe
