#1279 Bochs cannot be compiled outside the source tree
I configure bochs with:
$ mkdir bochs
$ cd bochs
$ ../bochs-2.5/configure
then I started "make".
After a short while, compilation stopped with this error:
cd cpu/cpudb && \
make libcpudb.a
make[1]: Entering directory `/home/Carlo/bochs/cpu/cpudb'
g++ -c -I.. -I../.. -I../../../bochs-2.5/cpu/cpudb/../.. -I../../instrument/stubs -I../../../bochs-2.5/cpu/cpudb/../../instrument/stubs -DWIN32 ../../../bochs-2.5/cpu/cpudb/pentium_mmx.cc -o pentium_mmx.o
../../../bochs-2.5/cpu/cpudb/pentium_mmx.cc:25:17: cpu.h: No such file or directory
(and many many errors will follow)
It seems to be just a missing search path so I fixed it by adding "-I$(srcdir)/.." to BX_INCDIRS into cpu/cpudb/Makefile.in
After restarting compilation, the process stopped again in this point:
windres -o win32res.o ../bochs-2.5/win32res.rc
../bochs-2.5/win32res.rc:107:24: bxversion.rc: No such file or directory
c:\mingw\bin\windres.exe: preprocessing failed.
make: *** [win32res.o] Error 1
This happens because bxversion.rc is (correctly) generated into the output tree rather than in the source tree.
So, the solution is to add option "-I." to resource compiler options in the Makefile.in located in the root of the sources.
After these two fixes, source code can be fully compiled in the above conditions.
Please submit a patch if you have one.
I don't see this compilation mode as one in my priority so this report might remain unfixed forever otherwise.

Fix for this bug
Your patch merged to SVN rev11046. Can you check if it works fine for you now ?

The addition to the resource compiler line breaks the compilation with VS2008 nmake. If the include is necessary there, the syntax is /i. I think the bast way to fix it is to add it to the RC_CMD variable.
Update for this bug.
I did not know about VS support in files generated by autotools... now that I know it, I think that suggestion made by vruppert is correct: the new patch that I attached has been made from latest trunk sources and (1) it reverts the addition of "-I." option to resource compiler from makefile.in and (2) it adds the "-I." switch to $(RC_CMD) in configure.in
I have now fixed the makefiles in the iodev subdirs in SVN. Is this bug fixed now?
I just compiled r11089 without problems.
If it is ok for other users too, this bug seems resolved to me.
Fixed in SVN r11089
