configuration problem?

[Kreijstal]

I did a bare ./configure && make. on msys2 on win11

$ ./bochs.exe

this is the .bochsrs

Bochs/bochs/.bochsrc

Line 220 in ea3a368

Maybe I compiled wrong? This is from master branch

Maybe I compiled wrong?

Most likely. Try this:
Open .conf.win32-cygwin file and add --disable-readline \ after --enable-show-ips \, then execute ./.conf.win32-cygwin instead of ./configure.

I'm not running the "msys/cygwin" enviroment with the intention to create a "msys/cygwin" file, I thought I'd use msys2 ucrt64 enviroment (cross compile from cygwin to windows using mingw) to create a "native" windows executable

but maybe I don't know what I'm talking about, since I just read the contents of the file :D, so I'll try your advice.
So I did try it:

# ./bochs.exe

I think it works now,

It's just how this file is named. It works fine with MSYS2, I checked it.

could not look up environment variable 'BXSHARE'

Some registry modifications are needed.
Or you may install release version with installer and then replace Bochs and BIOS/VGABIOS binaries with fresh versions.
