bochscpu-build

Branch	Status
main
3.1
3.0.x

This is a build job for the bochs artifacts for bochscpu. For normal usage you should only need to download a recent release, not build from source yourself.

Build

Requires git and a C compiler

Linux/macOS

$ sh prep.sh
$ cd Bochs/bochs
$ sh .conf.cpu
$ make

Windows

From WSL/Cygwin

$ sh prep.sh
$ cd Bochs/bochs
$ sh .conf.cpu-msvc

From a Visual Studio x64 command prompt

> cd Bochs\bochs
> nmake

Artifacts

This will build the following files:

• Bochs/bochs/cpu/libcpu.a
• Bochs/bochs/cpu/fpu/libfpu.a
• Bochs/bochs/cpu/avx/libavx.a
• Bochs/bochs/cpu/cpudb/libcpudb.a
• Bochs/bochs/cpu/softfloat3e/libsoftfloat.a
• Bochs/bochs source tree

These needs to wind up in a directory tree like this:

x@y:~/bochscpu$ tree bochs
bochs/
└── [... snip many c files here ...]
x@y:~/bochscpu$ tree lib
lib
├── avx.lib
├── cpudb.lib
├── cpu.lib
├── fpu.lib
└── softfloat.lib

On Windows these files will be named object.lib, on linux/macos they will libobject.a. This is done by default by the pipeline script, and you should be able to simply copy the precompiled artifacts into your bochscpu source tree.
