DOSBox-x - infinite loop in configure/make

Yes, I should have looked at drives.h

Sure. I already thought, it wouldn't be a straight compile, because of all the native GUI element DOSBOX-X has.

I'm having a real PITA trying to port DosBox-x under OS/2 with the latest tool (Gcc 9.2.0, the rest is up-to-date with ANPM netlabs repo).

Hi everyone, I finally found the problem! Thought it would be useful to know.
Fact is, make checks wether configure script is more recent than configure.ac and - in case - it recreates the configure script calling --recheck on config.status. BUT: I didn't notice thay my VM was setting a fixed system date at october 24, so every time I rebuilt the script it would still be older than configure.ac... Thus the loop.
I've issued a DATE command to reset time and now I'm compiling an Atari 800 emulator on SDL. Gonna let you know what's happening and maybe even give another try to Dosbox-x.

Cool, so the latest dosbox-x works fine on Arca then?

Hey J,
currently I haven't still tried again with Dosbox-x. As Dave said, there are many other problems with it so this is just one of them (and only on my VM, I'm fairly sure Dave has his PC's clock running fine).
I'm in the process of reorganizing all the source code I have on my personal Github repository, together with some sponsoring information to keep going with OS/2 related software (ports and native).
