--- Comment #16 from Robert McIsaac <rmm1.bob@gmail.com> ---
The Ports:doxbox compiles with 190 warnings. Most are trivial signed-unsign=
ed
mismatch but some may be actual bugs. The C++ templates use 'register' type
which is incompatible with C++17.  And there are unaligned pointers to pack=
ed
structures.

On the other hand, the dosbox-staging on github is relatively advanced with
focus on ease-of-use.

My opinion: close this bug and wait for the new, improved dosbox to be prov=
en
on Linux.  If it works well, then port it to BSD if you must have it.
