How to build and run an Emu8086 ASM program on Linux

Dependencies

Build Dependencies

For building your program you will need:

GNU Make
Wine ¹⁾

On Debian and Ubuntu you can install those dependencies with the following command (as root):

apt-get install build-essential wine

Runtime Dependencies

For running your application, you will need to install:

DOSBox

On Debian and Ubuntu you can install DOSBox with the following command (as root):

apt-get install dosbox

Compiling your program with a Makefile

Makefile

#The program name (8 char max)
PROGRAM_NAME = myprog
#The program ext (com or exe, lowercase)
PROGRAM_EXT = com
 
 
all: clean program
 
program:
	./buildenv/build.sh $(PROGRAM_NAME) $(PROGRAM_EXT)
 
clean:
	rm -f $(PROGRAM_NAME).$(PROGRAM_EXT)
	rm -f $(PROGRAM_NAME).sh
 
buildenv:
	wget -c "http://download.flogisoft.com/files/various/emu8086/emu8086-buildenv_1.0.tar.gz"
	tar -xzf emu8086-buildenv_1.0.tar.gz
	rm -f emu8086-buildenv_1.0.tar.gz
	cd buildenv/ && ./makeenv.sh
