Arvind, Get the source from Ubuntu mirrors. apt-get source bochs apt-get build-dep bochs In the current directory you get a gziped .diff patch file as well as the original source. You need to apply the patch for the source to work without any troubles. That's the way with debian based distros. Let me know if that helps. - Rahul On 05:22 Sat 27 Dec , sahlot arvind wrote: > This is the error: > > cd iodev && \ > make libiodev.a > make[1]: Entering directory `/home/arvind/osEngg/tools/bochs-2.1.1/iodev' > g++ -c -I.. -I./.. -I../instrument/stubs -I./../instrument/stubs -g -O2 > -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 -D_LARGE_FILES -pthread devices.cc -o devices.o > In file included from devices.cc:28: > ../bochs.h: In member function 'char* iofunctions::getaction(int)': > ../bochs.h:345: warning: deprecated conversion from string constant to > 'char*' > ../bochs.h:345: warning: deprecated conversion from string constant to > 'char*' > ../bochs.h:345: warning: deprecated conversion from string constant to > 'char*' > ../bochs.h:345: warning: deprecated conversion from string constant to > 'char*' > In file included from ../bochs.h:425, > from devices.cc:28: > ../disasm/disasm.h: In member function 'void disassembler::ST0(unsigned > int)': > ../disasm/disasm.h:231: warning: deprecated conversion from string constant > to 'char*' > ../disasm/disasm.h: In member function 'void disassembler::Cd(unsigned > int)': > ../disasm/disasm.h:240: warning: deprecated conversion from string constant > to 'char*' > ../disasm/disasm.h: In member function 'void disassembler::Dd(unsigned > int)': > ../disasm/disasm.h:241: warning: deprecated conversion from string constant > to 'char*' > ../disasm/disasm.h: In member function 'void disassembler::Td(unsigned > int)': > ../disasm/disasm.h:242: warning: deprecated conversion from string constant > to 'char*' > ../disasm/disasm.h: In member function 'void disassembler::I1(unsigned > int)': > ../disasm/disasm.h:265: warning: deprecated conversion from string constant > to 'char*' > In file included from ../iodev/iodev.h:402, > from ../bochs.h:504, > from devices.cc:28: > ../iodev/harddrv.h: At global scope: > ../iodev/harddrv.h:292: error: extra qualification 'sparse_image_t::' on > member 'get_physical_offset' > ../iodev/harddrv.h:297: error: extra qualification 'sparse_image_t::' on > member 'set_virtual_page' > In file included from ../iodev/iodev.h:403, > from ../bochs.h:504, > from devices.cc:28: > ../iodev/vmware3.h:79: warning: 'packed' attribute ignored > devices.cc: In constructor 'bx_devices_c::bx_devices_c()': > devices.cc:48: warning: deprecated conversion from string constant to > 'char*' > make[1]: *** [devices.o] Error 1 > make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/arvind/osEngg/tools/bochs-2.1.1/iodev' > make: *** [iodev/libiodev.a] Error 2 > > I dont know why it is coming.
