UserSpace, as oposite to KernelSpace. Are you taking about BSD or things like that? If that's the case, no idea if it would work. I would say it would, but some minor adaptation may be needed (no idea, I only test on Linux)
No not talking about BSD or anything, just wondered if this had any relation to the gnu as it's usually listed as the userspace/userland on many Linux distros wiki pages.
Hmmm, I will say no, no relation. It is just to say it emulate stuffs that happens in the Linux Userspace, nothing more.
There are many things like that (there is also the one used by LuaJIT). Or ready-made JIT library... I'm still unsure what I will end up with, but probably something custom made.Hi all
@ptitSeb : could this be of any use to you ?

As I understand it, it'd be unlikely to work as is on any given BSD. The BSD kernel dates back quite a lot further than the Linux kernel, so does some things quite differently, and different BSDs have quite different kernels now that dragonflyBSD has appeared. I don't know how this affects the userspace apis to be honest, but this suggests it's not a simple matter of plug and play, and there some kind of shim between linux processes and the BSD kernel and libs called the linux compatiblity layer.
I am focussing on compatibility for now. Not much on performances. Without JIT, I'm not expecting too much, but it's not that bad, really. But I do plan to integrate a JIT later.
What are you suggesting would be a fair test for a native game? It'd be more useful in my mind to run some sort of cpu tester, and seeing where it comes out hopefully somewhere between 486sx and Pentium 90MHz or somewhere like that.
May I ask why? Is there some reason WINE is different from running other Linux programs in Box86?
Box86 use native call as much as possible, to avoid emulating useless call. So system library like libc, libm and other, are "wrapped", and the ARM version is used, even if the program is i686 architecture.
Yes exactly. That was my plan for WinBox. But I haven't really started that project. And it doesn't make sense to start it now before Box86 is an more "feature complete" state...
I will give that a try when I get my Pyra, thank you!
If you ever start it, let us know! It sounds like a neat idea.
Yes, and it let you run ARM Windows apps...
It's inside latest Codeblocks beta yes (but the version of box86 is already a bit outdated). Both i386 version of libstdc++ and libgcc_s are already setup and will be found by box86 automatically.Are the Combatible X86 Libraries inside the Codeblocks?
How to use it for a Noob like me?
Is there an .sh which download the mostly important "Wrapper Files"?
I read and read about Box86 but do not understand it completly how to use it.
Which Commands should i Type in for using it?
I want to try with it this Evening
