Bundle and run a DOS program

[joeskeen]

Hey, I downloaded and inspected the contents of the AppImage, pretty cool! I'm wondering a few things:

• Can you share the script/process you took to make this AppImage file?
• How easy do you think it would be to create an AppImage with a custom dosbox conf file and a program bundled?
• Or, could this AppImage be used with custom command-line arguments to run a specific DOS program on launch?

Great idea/project!

P.S. I'd be happy to contribute

Hi,

Sorry, I formatted my computer a while ago and the sources for this AppImage were also deleted.

But I think I followed this guide on creating an AppImage, here is a link that can guide you: https://github.com/AppImage/docs.appimage.org/blob/master/source/packaging-guide/manual.rst

I also invite you to try to extract one or more AppImages if you can to directly view the content. So maybe this link can also help you with this task: https://askubuntu.com/questions/1231597/how-can-i-examine-the-files-inside-an-appimage

About this package, I remind you to do several tests to make it work. In this case I was on Debian so what I do was:

• Installed the Dosbox system package from the repository or via the *.deb file.
• Create the AppImage manually with the necessary files (Dosbox executable, SDL library, etc.)
• Uninstall and purge deb file
• Run the AppImage file.
• Repeat these tasks to make it work.

Good luck.
